I'm not in the USA, I don't trade in the USA And the USA is going to totally destroy its economy in order to kill US use of bitcoins? That's called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Don't bother getting all wound up because of this, all these crazy ideas lead nowhere.
Keep calm and carry on :P Title: Re: tired of people saying what if the government + banks bought all bitcoins!

Just I've read the same "story" over and over in the last week or two. People should at least learn to read rubbish before they start writing it, but I know, that's a vain hope. It implies the ability to use the search tool. Title: Re: tired of people saying what if the government + banks bought all bitcoins!
