Today I was attending a lecture about blockchain and cryptocurrencies and the lecturer said that freedom and safety don’t go together. You can have more freedom by abandoning safety. Would you agree?

Yes. Freedom can be used for good or bad. I assume the lecturer was talking about crypto being used mostly in crime, which happens because it’s not controlled by an institution that can confiscate it.
The way it’s phrased here makes freedom look good, but don’t forget it actually means there’s valid arguments for limiting freedom just as much as for limiting control. You have to get into a lot more detail to really get anywhere.
