The same happen with counterfeit money, yet here we are, still using it everywhere.
In most case, if it's physical, you can catch it before it get send. If it's digital, you can cut access. No big deal.
Go see any big Ebay seller and find one that didn't lost any money from a scammer.
- askmike 7y agoNo that's not the same at all. A stolen bitcoin is a real bitcoin. A fake dollar is not a real dollar.

We are talking about blacklist that would make a stolen bitcoin, no longer a real bitcoin and thus be at lost. If you consider it still a real bitcoin, how can you consider it a loss? If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. If it doesn't... it's probably not... You talk about being on top of the latest hacks... isn't the same as being on top of the latest counterfeited money?
- askmike 7y agoThat only works if everyone in the world agrees to the same blacklist, else it's just an opinion of a few people.
