"We just lost them; they're gone" -- what? RT @TheSwitch: Losing its reputation for secrecy could be good for Bitcoin http://wapo.st/170bxiO

@sarahjeong when silk road got seized, so did all of the bitcoins in all of their customer accounts
@vogon so it means they're *seized,* right, not *gone*? You can't just vanish something from the blockchain?

@sarahjeong vanish as in un-issue the currency, or vanish as in take from the owner permanently? -
@vogon the way it's phrased it seems like the bitcoin are simply gone, since they also mention the BTC the government themselves used -
@vogon it just seems like a weird way to say "The government has our bitcoin." Which I think is the only possibility! -
@sarahjeong well, the owner can destroy the private keys forever, in which case nobody'll ever be able to spend them again
