“Would the government or governments which appear after an attack actually find it necessary or desirable to fractionate the country into different monetary units because different degrees of devastation or reliance on paper money required this? What if Federal Reserve Notes were thus generally valued and accepted in Oregon (which, perhaps, did not get hit very hard by the Soviet attack) but were found of dubious value in North Carolina, amid a consequently enormous inflation of prices in dollars paid per can of beans?” DOCS: “Markets, Distribution, and Exchange After Societal Cataclysm" “Options for Accelerating Economic Recovery After Nuclear Attack” via Bitcoin or “DARPACoin” Could Save Civilization After a Nuclear Event http://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/bitcoincouldsave |

Bitcoin must be "legalised" in order for the government there to gain at least some measure of control of first Bitcoin, then all crypto. One Only need to read the OP article and link to Bitcoin Magazine to see that it is technically not legal in California nor is any other form of alternative currency. It sounds ridiculous. And it is ridiculous. Read the article to find out why. A Bill (act to amend Section 107 of the Corporations Code, relating to business associations) introduced by California State Assembly member and Chairman on Banking and Finance Roger Dickenson on January 15th “AB-129 Lawful money: alternative currency” (PDF) as Amended January 23, 2014 specifies that “current law which bans the issuance or circulation of anything but lawful money of the United States does not prohibit the issuance and use of alternative currency.
