At the tradeoff of being open to theft and manipulation? IMO, the computer system(s) that cyptocurrency has to reside on will be controlled by someone (most likely the government). That "someone" can be bought/corrupted/stolen from and we'd have no recourse. I realize the same thing can happen to my paper money, but I have a choice in whether I put it in such an institution or hold it myself.
