But wouldn't that lead to... *SHOCK* fractional reserves!

   Try asking gox if they lend you the 200,000 BTC to do that.

   "In a bit of news that's familiar to anyone who ever put on an old
   jacket and found $20 in the pocket, embattled Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox
   has made a fortuitous discovery. The company[5]announced (PDF)in Japan
   that it found 200,000 Bitcoin (worth nearly $116 million at the moment)
   in a wallet from 2011 that it no longer used. That's less than a
   quarter of the 850,000 Bitcoins CEO Mark Karpeles reported were
   missing, but at the moment, at least it's something. According to its
   statement, the coins were moved to online wallets on the 7th, and then
   to offline wallets on the 14th and 15th. The mystery of[6]what happened
   to Mt. Gox's fundsis still far from solved, but between this news and
   reports of updated[7]balances for account holders, it seems possible
   that there's something to be recovered from the shuttered exchange.
   Next up, removing all of the cushions from the sofa and pulling it away
   from the wall."

   If that doesn't inspire confidence in you, I don't know what will!
   Honestly, I really wonder what would happen if some developers who
   understand financial cryptography and how banks properly work built a
   real bitcoin exchange. Considering how well it has done with
   incompetents like this, I'm betting a properly programmed and vetted
   system may be quite successful.
   Too bad I don't have 200,000 BTC to do just that.
