Security researcher @kain argued on the Uneasy Money podcast that most cryptographic and security schemes were designed under the assumption that attackers would eventually get bored or give up due to human laziness. The premise, he noted, breaks down entirely when facing adversaries with unlimited patience and resources. The warning highlights a fundamental flaw in many existing protocols: they rely on the economic or psychological fatigue of attackers rather than robust mathematical guarantees. As automated tools and well-funded threat actors continue to evolve, systems predicated on attacker disengagement face increasing vulnerability.
