They couldn't blacklist those coins without completely undermining confidence in Bitcoin itself. The same discussion came about with the coins that were confiscated by DPR.
- EthanHeilman 11y agoYou make a good point. Lets say you are miner and you are faced with two choices resulting from the stolen Satoshi coins being dumped on the market: 1. vote to blacklist the stolen Satoshi coins and prevent a collapse in the value of Bitcoin (short term benefit, possible long term loss). 2. or don't blacklist the coins and avoid setting a precedent which hurts Bitcoin (short term loss, possible long term benefit), Not an easy choice, I can see arguments for both positions.
