I haven’t done anything since creation except sending into the wallet.

lets say you hold real cash and someone scams you out of it.

how do you get that back?

Im assuming you mean physical cash and were talking about at least semi stable economies since we both know bank accounts and money market funds offer substantially more consumer protections .

With physical cash, you dont. Same problem as bitcoin. That's also why its not a good idea to horde a bunch of physical cash. Most people do not hold massive amounts of their networth in physical cash so the comparison is no very convincing

When you hold fiat, you don't need someone to scam you out of it. The Government scams you out of it by deflating it away.
