Title: A safe haven
Post by: Ilove-Obama on August 04, 2015, 06:49:44 PM
This may sound very strange to most of you, but a safe haven for bitcoin may be necessary. As more countries try to monopolize bitcoin (even though this probably wouldn't happen), or try to regulate it, a cause for reform must be taken in order to keep bitcoin as it is. This may be to have most operations of bitcoin in another country, possibly in California.
Or the answer may be the foundation of a new nation, one where bitcoin is used and never to be regulated, and one where we are free from the repressive "democracies" that run the most powerful nations. This may sound to extreme, but it may be necessary.

I don't see what you mean by countries trying to monopolize Bitcoin. As far as regulations go, there is an attempt being made to regulate bitcoin companies, not Bitcoin itself. If any government overreaches, companies will just move to jurisdictions which are better regulated.

It's fair to say that the New York "Bitcoin License" is something of an attempt by the State of New York to gain control over the Bitcoin use and market, since by way of it they gain info on both parties to any transaction, where only one of the two is in New York, or even where only an exchange is in New York.

More can be elaborated on that but I'll stop.

Oh, and by the way "countries trying", you do know what is meant.  "Trying" does not mean "succeeding," of course.
