the first country to pull the trigger could likely become the next powerhouse in finance and industry. Title: Re: 2013-05-13 Policymic- Could Bitcoin Destroy Government Control of Currency?

Some of the comments make me wanna kick a puppy, though. You mean like this insightful gem?... "Robin Goodfellow 7 hours ago You don't actually take bitcoin seriously, do you? Monopoly money is more legitimate." My working rule is never to underestimate the opposition, but sometimes they make it hard. :) Title: Re: 2013-05-13 Policymic- Could Bitcoin Destroy Government Control of Currency?

Forget the puppy, I wanna kick him, instead. Title: Re: 2013-05-13 Policymic- Could Bitcoin Destroy Government Control of Currency?

Good stuff. A good start but a long way to go. At present there are 118 products that can be bought on the site with BTC. I doubt that this is even 0.01%. Still, it is a start and hopefully the number will grow. BTW I think it is already perfectly possible for vendors on ebay to accept bitcoins. And a few already do. |
