To who? It's a de-centralized database.

Yes, but you have to associate identity with your public key. This is for bonds, not buying drugs.

Just transfer bonds into a new key pair. A costly hassle I am sure. Don't lose your key!

Yes, yes. To who am I going to prove my identity though? There's no one that, once I've done that, can go into the blockchain and fix things up.

This is why there are so many lost bitcoins that are 100% unrecoverable.
