>If you're not on top of the latest hacks and get some bitcoin that were stolen you'll be at a loss.

We are talking about blacklist that would make a stolen bitcoin, no longer a real bitcoin and thus be at lost. If you consider it still a real bitcoin, how can you consider it a loss? If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. If it doesn't... it's probably not...

You talk about being on top of the latest hacks... isn't the same as being on top of the latest counterfeited money?

That only works if everyone in the world agrees to the same blacklist, else it's just an opinion of a few people.
