If I am understanding the correctly, all of the information in the BTC programming is needed in order for the block chain to properly work right. So I am guessing in order for you to do that, you would have to rewrite the complete block chain from the start so it all lines up. Am I on the right track with my thinking?
Forget about gaining Bitcoin quick and dirty way by hacking, it's not possible. Every part of the Bitcoin security practices was carefully reviewed by the world's greatest security experts, and there are no holes in them. This doesn't mean you shouldn't take your time to learn as much as you can about Bitcoin code, because you can actually get money from that by offering your programming services to others once you figure out what exactly is going on there.
