Worried About Bitcoin

DON'T YOU NEED A LARGE BRIEFCASE UNMARKED BILLS OR SOMETHING? ALL PAYMENTS ARE MADE IN CRYPTO-CURRENCY. CRYPTO-CURRENCY? SOUNDS A LITTLE RISKY. WE'RE HALF A MILE UNDERWATER IN A HIGHLY PRESSURIZED TUBE WITH A HOST OF UNSTABLE CRIMINAL FIGURES WHO ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE HAGGLING OVER EXPLOSIVE EXPERIMENTAL WEAPONS, AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT...BITCOIN? FAIR POINT.

A comic panel shows criminals traveling through a highly pressurized underwater tube while discussing payment. One character worries that cryptocurrency is risky, despite the absurdly dangerous situation involving unstable criminals and explosive weapons; the punchline is the reversal of what actually deserves concern. It is used as a reaction to someone focusing on a minor or conventional risk while ignoring a much more serious danger.
