Bitcoin is not a software program it's a protocol. It's better to compare it to HTTP which also hasn't had exploits.


Since we’re interested in security features, an even better comparison would be with SSL, which has had many exploits.

But Bitcoin also has a primary implementation which is software and that hasn’t had any major heists either.
