Am i the only one who sees the "Cyprus 2011" story here ?
Cyprus, Argentina..the first of many.
On another note, now that alt coins are developing true anonymity, the governments are really screwed. Tax revenues will drop like a rock. Everybody that has a computer has a TAX HAVEN. Who needs Switzerland when you have anonymity and an encrypted hard drive.
So in reality, the governments are driving the growth of virtual currencies. Adopter just need to be patient and let the gov do their part.
