There are two possible reasons why the things I say appear to be a rehash of things which have been said before:
1. I really am treading over covered ground
2. You opinion re. my writing is as valid as my dog's re. quantum physics.

It's the bolded one, but well done, you're starting to get it now. Only took 4 pages.

You are clearly trying to provoke me. Fine.

You get what you give.

Now go and be angry elsewhere. I know the market sucks and we're all a bit edgy, but take it somwhere else.
ty.

I'm not angry, but as a troll this is what you desire the most for the people you attempt to troll so you need to keep reiterating it to feel as if you've completed your objective or are winning points but it doesn't work with me. The current 'market' or value of bitcoin today is irrelevant to me and irrelevant to this discussion so please stop pulling things out of your arse and maybe actually offer something of actual worth to this discussion except repeating 'u angry lololol i troll u' over and over like it means anything.

In addition to the enforcement issue: From time to time people have asked me whether they could sell their accounts or use them as collateral because they have an emergency need for money or have come on hard times. I'm not going to tell them they can't do this. It's your account and you can do what you want with it. I find it pretty distasteful (it's like selling your identity), but the act of selling your account does not itself hurt anyone else, and in fact scams via account sales are very rare.

Selling accounts hurts trust, thus hurts everyone.
What's the point of having a trust system, when accounts with positive trust are bought & sold, regularly, right here on the forum?

What's the point in any trust system on any site? They're a guide not a definitive you can trust this account badge and every single one on any site can be gamed or abused. eBay or Paypal don't allow accounts to be sold, but guess what you can buy them as easily as bitcointalk accounts. And let's suppose theymos announces right this second that account sales are now prohibited... Changes absolutely nothing regarding 'hurting' trust. Possibly does more damage because people, especially newbs, assume an account could never have possibly been sold or stolen but you seem to not be willing to accept this.
