I wonder what you think of this. Can it really be possible for the NSA or some large ISP to crash Bitcoin?

- observe internet traffic
- look for 51 character strings starting with 5 *
- collect them
- import keys and transfer all coins to own account

*for sure, many people send/receive/store their private keys unencrypted,  e.g. when generating paper wallets online

Why on Earth didn't you ask this first in Bitcoin Forum > Other > Beginners & Help
so you don't look so stupid?
And your title isn't even phrased as a question!
