Broken fungibility could destroy Bitcoin, as Bitcoin would not longer have just one price.

Adam Back discusses centralization due to pools at 25 min, regulation at 30min, and non-anonymity coin taint fungibility at 49 min:

Adam admitted that Bitcoin's fungibility model is fundamentally flawed and broken!

... and the virgin anonymous coin is intrinsically worth more (even if sells for same price) than a coin obtained via an exchange.

mtgox 1btc = $360
coinbase 1btc = $650

Spread is now ~45%. Those assholes at mtgox have a license to print money: buy their own cheap btc from panic sellers, don't allow anyone else to transfer out but themselves, sell on another exchange like coinbase for an instant 100% gain, rinse, and repeat. Maybe that's the plan all along, criminals...
