The 419 scam has been running for over a century, but that doesn't make it a good model for wealth redistribution.

I don't think it's meant as a model of wealth redistribution. I personally just like the fact that Bitcoin allows me to pay for things in a one-time sort of way. For example, paying for pornography would be brilliant. I don't want something as edgy as that linked to my physical address or credit card in any way.
