How exactly would that discredit bitcoin?
That's like say a hammer is discredited because it cracked through a skull with ease. No, that's a really good hammer because all a hammer is supposed to do it be good at hitting things hard.
A hammer can do that!?!
I have one of those in the garage!
They sell those at family friendly places such as Walmart and Home Depot!
We need some laws to deal with this!
You are a hammerer?
Moderators: Is this the kind of element you want associated with bitcoin? HAMMERERS?!
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the forum "staff" are hammer-friendly: supporting and even encouraging carpentry and other hammer related activities. Theymos, would we find a hammer in your garage if we looked? (Don't bother answering. I'm sure the community already has a good idea.)
Allow me to then answer that for theymos.
Since it was established that a hammer(er) is a weapon, and the French are not too keen on War (read violence), and theymos is taking French in college, then no, he does not have a hammer(er) at his disposal. Hammer bad/Feather good.
