" “The exchange of dollar bills, including high denomination bills, is currently unregulated and has allowed users to participate in illicit activity, while also being highly subject to forgery, theft, and loss,” wrote Polis in a statement.z'" Now that is pretty funny!

Well, there had been no mention of it here so I stepped up to the plate! LOL!

I've met Polis a couple of times. While we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things (e.g. the role of the state), we've got some common ground in other areas (e.g. personal freedoms).

I've had people tell me Bitcoin should be banned because people use it to buy child porn and it's "anonymous". Do these people never consider that cash is far, far more anonymous than bitcoins, and used for far more nefarious activities?

People hate change and fail to realise that change is inevitable but suffering is optional. My $.02. ;) |
