Never underestimate the persuasive power of a baseball bat :-)

1. How is that punk going to know you have a bitcoin account?
2. Why would he risk prison time for what might be 5 0.05 bitcoins?
3. How long will he stand in the street and threaten me, waiting for the password? Remember, if i get a concussion, i might forget the password.
4. Android app can have a feature that gives the thief access, but to a secondary (honeypot account) with only a small amount of BTC. If the thief wants to beat you to a pulp in broad daylight because he thinks you gave him a honeypot account, more power to him.

1) We are all here dealing voluntarily with a super-volatile currency because we think it will take off. Everyone is going to have a bitcoin account in this speculative future.
2) Have you really never seen 'Cops' or read a newspaper? You don't get caught by being smart... Plus, once those idiots who are "destroying bitcoin, coin by coin" wreak their havoc, .05btc will be like, 2% of the whole bitcoin economy. <---(This is a joke)
3) See #2
4) Hopefully this future-app in our speculative-future here wards off this future thug with its futuristic dummy account, but please refer to numbers 1), 2) and 3) regarding that future thug beating you to a pulp.
