I don't think you understood my point.
Ok, let's elaborate It.
You wrote:
It is a lot easier to arrest and lock up the prominent bitcoin users than to manipulate the market.
But I write earlier:
What you think if anyone intruder will buy up bitcoin currency and erase all binary data. This way can destroy bitcoin systems. Is btc network protected against that attack?
And If you try to lookup subject carefully you can find:
Massive Attack against BTC system.
I don't discuss in another attack that you indicated (I understand you idea: attack to system through people).
Ok. Follow next.
Maybe you don't agree with my assessment of the situation but what you posted was far from constructive.
The main idea why I begin this thread:
I seems, "truly" system must include mechanisms that protect self from any fraud activity.
In response to your original post, I don't believe the situation you describe is a big risk.
But I think that It will be better if in design-time developers build mechanisms that decrease potential of fraudulent ability. And you?
Please, explain me if I am wrong. I want to understand you reflections.
