Title: [2014-12-12] Wired: Instead of Fighting Bitcoin, the US Could Make Its Own Curr Post by: LiteCoinGuy on December 12, 2014, 03:50:25 PM Instead of Fighting Bitcoin, the US Could Make Its Own Digital Currency
The US government has been seriously studying bitcoin for about two years now. The FBI knows how to seize the digital currency. The Marshal’s Service knows how to sell it. The IRS knows how to tax it. And now, the Federal Reserve should copy it. http://www.wired.com/2014/12/t-coin/ http://nolannabiblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/creepy-willy-wonka-meme-generator-oh-really-now-tell-me-more-38d49d.jpg only some aspects of that stupid idea: - where is the fighting?! i cant see it. - unlimited currency which loses value? cool... - backed by some computers? a hackers dream - who will develop this stupid currency? ahh...nobody ;) start with the "Bitcoin 101" Prof. Moron :D Title: Re: [2014-12-12] Wired: Instead of Fighting Bitcoin, the US Could Make Its Own Curr Post by: kjlimo on December 12, 2014, 04:14:13 PM Not too much new here other than the timing.
I'm sure it will move as fast as the Canadian mint chip idea... Quote The Canadians eventually shelved their MintChip dreams, but the rise of digital currencies seems inevitable. Perhaps timing will change the situation, but it remains to be seen.

In fact, they made the perfect digital currency that we all know and love, bitcoin. They'll tell you about it later, as usual.

That would be nice, but not something they're going to be interested in.
