Bitcoin is not anonymous, the FBI knows who you are when you send and receive a bitcoin. I believe that the main benefit of this technology is multilayer-ed security.

You can always lose your password, most people don't lose their thumb or eyes.

Actually some people do lose their thumb or eyes. One can just write the password on the outside of the phone in order to not lose it. This is the essence of the CCC hack over a year ago. http://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2013/ccc-breaks-apple-touchid. Yes Apple is that reckless when it comes to the security of their customer's information.

Um... Ok. Then show me statistics of how many people in the world lose both their eyes and thumbs, I'm assuming not much? If it's not much, I think you're proving a good point for this type of security. Someone had to recreate someone's thumb! That's a hell of a lot harder to do than stealing someone's credit card or being apart of other illegal schemes.

I've read about this further and I've found out that chain.com has a fingerprint based bitcoin wallet but I have not found out if someone has made a successful hack against this type of security and the way this company implements it.

How would the Bitcoin community like retina scan or thumb print authorization? (Most new cell phones already have these features built-in) I believe that all the maintainers of Bitcoin wallets should consider adding these features. If you think this is a good idea, add your support below and also add the reason why you would like these features added.
