From Glitches

It is an inherent wesaneks because you are trusting an anonymous identity. If I send money to Paypal in exchange for goods and they fail to arrive, I have a chance to open a dispute. If it's any similar service, I have the opportunity to have a (somewhat poorly managed, sure) trusted third party look at the deal and refund if required. No such functionality exists with Bitcoin right now. And should it exist, it destroys the very notion of an Anonymous currency.Cash is used in face-to-face transactions. If I pay you cash in your hand and you don't give me the TV I paid for, you then stand to lose much more than that. With Bitcoin, there is no action I can take, other than of course, the token complaining on the Bitcoin forum that another scammer has appeared and why did I fall for their scam.Saying you can treat Bitcoins like cash is nice, but in reality we don't use cash for online sales and that is what Bitcoin was created for. Online, primarily between networks across borders. For person-to-person deals, we would, of course, just use cash.Crime Bitcoin is a critical crime enabler. It is a game changer, yes, giving criminals a new method of avoiding detection. They can still be caught, in fact their trust in Bitcoin, irrespective of the flaws mentioned, is what will lead to many being brought to justice for their crimes. However, understand that the creation of Bitcoin will have far reaching consequences as far as law enforcement and your freedom online is concerned. I believe the creation of Bitcoin provides a justifiable reason to begin locking down the internet, as we are seeing today. Many of your elected leaders feel the same. A position, as someone with significant interest in technology, I would have never seen myself supporting just a few short years ago.
