@Topic author
This has been discussed many times over and over and over and over again.
This will simply not happen. If it would, I (and probably most of the people who have Bitcoin now) would simply not use Bitcoin.
Deflation is the most important reason why I am using Bitcoin - because i don't want governments or anybody else to steal from me.
Go make a fork, start your own version of Bitcoin and stop littering the forums uselessly.

Be safe, aight G ?
He is safe. If something would happen to Gavin at that meeting, this would be interpreted by everyone here as government attacking Bitcoin. If they are planning an attack on Bitcoin (but i doubt that is their intention at the moment), they would not want to alert the enemy first. The CIA/FBI/Gov guys are not stupid. Surely they will want to explore other possibilities than attack first. For example: a) Exploiting bitcoin for power, using it against other nations, increasing national advantage (perhaps using it to destabilize/manipulate/influence other countries). b) Actually making a profit on Bitcoin, which can be possibly used to fund Military/Intelligence. If none of the above options works, they may try an attack. Just remember that not everything that comes from military/intelligence is always bad. it was military & intelligence that produced the Internet & started the TOR project. Don't the feds hang at DefCon and such and threaten and even straight out arrest invited speakers there? Do they really ? Well, even if it is so, threatening is far from actually hurting people. |

Bitcoin should be usable by the most conservative imam in Saudi Arabia
Logical inconsitency. Dollars are used both for trading drugs all around the world and by conservative imams in Saudi Arabia (and most other islamic countries since oil can only be bought for dollars)... All currencies can be used for both good and bad things. Using currency for "bad" things doesn't mean that the currency itself is bad. |

They say "is there anything I can do to retain you as a customer sir?" and then you say "no, not a damn thing".
And it makes you feel good. They had their chance, but remember those late-fees that they stacked on after charging just enough of a monthly "service charge" to make you bounce that payment you had enough in your account to cover the previous day. Yeah you do. Fuck that
I've closed over 7 accounts in the last hour, credit, checking, savings, recurring hulu charges....it feels great
That is expected. This whole monetary system runs on debt. No wonder why the bankers want you (and everybody else) to stay so badly. If everybody paid their debts instantly, there would be no money in the circulation, and the system would immediately collapse. |

My point of view is government is a criminal organization, so I don't like it very much. Just like I wouldn't like if Bitcoin developers went to talk about it with other organized thieves, kidnappers and murderers. I think Bitcoin should be promoted more among honest people, who trade drugs, weapons, voluntary porn of any kind and so on, not among criminals gangs.
Hahahahaha  |

Not if they openly approached him. If they weren't going to play nice, they wouldn't have bothered with a ruse. Like I said, openly inviting him to speak and offering him a speaker's fee tells me that they intend to play nice. It's a very bullish signal.
Absolutely right. I think they are curious how/if they can use bitcoins to their advantage and against other nations. IMHO if/after they figure out they cannot use BTC for their gains, they will attack it. The question is if they can. If CIA has thrown their computer clusters' power into generating Bitcoin, they could become one of early adopters, which could theoretically give them advantage agains other nations. Can that be the cause for their sudden interest in BTC ? |

I don't want any "Gavin is on the CIA's payroll" rumors to get started, either...
If you were on their payroll, surely you wouldn't write everything openly like this with all the details. I believe you. |

This has been discussed before. Search the archives.
The general conclusion I think was, that bitcoin is not really the system you should be using for doing lots of microtransactions.
+1 And also -1 to any unnecessary bloat which would put more strain on the network. |

What is the license ?
GPL ? BSD ? Mit ? Apache ? GPLv3... read the COPYING file (included in source and on Start Menu for Windows)... Cool. I was just thinking that such an imporant infomation should be included in the project site, so this is why I am asking. |

http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/04/05/2243209/Bashing-MS-Like-Kicking-a-Puppy-Says-Jim-Zemlinhttp://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/040511-linux-vs-microsoft.html?hpg1=bn"Two decades after Linus Torvalds developed his famous operating system kernel, the battle between Linux and Microsoft is over and Linux has won, says Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin. With the one glaring exception of the desktop computer, Linux has outpaced Microsoft in nearly every market, including server-side computing and mobile, Zemlin claims. 'I think we just don't care that much [about Microsoft] anymore,' Zemlin said. 'They used to be our big rival, but now it's kind of like kicking a puppy.' From Android and the Amazon Kindle to embedded devices, consumer electronics and the world's largest websites and supercomputers, 'Linux has come to dominate almost every category of computing, with the exception of the desktop,' Zemlin argues as Linux approaches its 20th anniversary."
We won ! Let's now make a new goal: Making entire human civilization be run by geeks, and make the official currency Bitcoin ! Open Source won with Microsoft, so it is clear that Bitcoin can defeat FED & fiat money system  The next era of human civilization will be a geek era !!

If they bought all the coins one day then stopped buying them the next there would be none in circulation
OMG, this has been discussed soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many times. It is absolutely impossible to "buy all the coins". Nobody can force anybody to sell even at the HIGHEST price. The human greed factor comes into play here. Right now, If somebody announced "hey, we're buying BTC for 100 dollars each !!", there would be a lot of people who would still hoard the BTC because they would think that the price will rise even more. |
