Wow! I woke up this morning and noticed the price of Bitcoin was dropping quickly. Now I know why. It seems there's always going to be an exchange that gets hacked right when Bitcoin price is recovering. I am definitely considering putting more of my holdings into Steem Power. The influence you get with it is a nice bonus :)

The fact that Bitcoin is immutable only makes it more attractive to hackers. So on some level you are right, this could continue to happen indefinitely and frequency could increase. Security includes disaster recovery and Bitcoin has limited ability to recover from certain kinds of attacks such as the kind against centralized exchanges or even government confiscation.
