I cant wake up and when the hangover cures, just print a new bill. Crypto currency is by nature "anonymous" whoever posseses it owns it, not like a stock or bond thats got a trail of identifiable ownership. This is why it will never function as an actual currency, its just a digital commodity with no inherent safety net. Even a gold bar you can stamp. One bitcoin is theoretically indiscernable from another, so even if you tracked it, you couldnt prove ownership. With no central backing, even if you could, theres no enforcement body to make anyone give it back.... aside from a hard fork On Dec 7, 2017 8:17 AM, "Gino A.
