Not a ridiculous point. I wonder if certain bitcoins could eventually be worth more than others simply because the chain of custody has gone through an official source.

Bitcoins don’t actually exist as separate entities, all that exists is a record of who transferred what amount to who.

In goes tainted coins, out comes cleam coins

this is why Monero interests me: without a full transaction history on the block chain, there’s no such thing as “tainted” coins anymore
