I have mixed feelings about this.  Any news about bitcoins spreading around is good but Al Jazeera has a very bad anti-American reputatation.  They went out of their way to tell the terrorist side of the story in Iraq and as an anonymous currency it isn't a good idea to associate with that kind of thing.  As a libertarian I know drugs should be legal so things like silk road are okay but there should be a way to root out other criminal groups who try and use bitcoin.

You have IMHO AJ all wrong. They are not Anti-American and not pro terrorist. In fact, the USG has twice blown up [on purpose] their bureau in two cities for truth telling. It is the USG [and I'm American, if you care to know!] that is the terrorist - with its endless wars only for profit and Empire - its phony war on [really of] Terror. If anyone will try to destroy BTC or anything like it, it will be the USG - or the financial Oligarchy behind them. AJ is the best news service, bar none.

I'm not sure that there is currently an organized attempt to bring down bitcoin.  From what I understand, the Mt. Gox hacking was an attempt to steal bitcoins.

That being said, there will most definitely be an organized government effort to bring down bitcoin.  Probably won't happen for another couple of years because the government is slow and reactive rather than proactive, but it will happen as long as bitcoin continues to grow in popularity and use.  The people who run our government can't stand that something might be outside of their control.  Nothing makes them angrier. 

You can bet your bippie on that! Not just the Government per se, but the financial Oligarchy [which really owns/runs the Govt.]. They also have access to supercomputers or just huge corporate computer networks, that can (as I understand it) if more powerful than the total of all connected BTC users be used to steal the entire lot of 'em. Alternatively, they could just hire expert black hacker types to build bots, traps and trojans to  upset the system. Many a President and Administration were assassinated/overturned due to attempts to control the FED [or other high finance policy].....watch out! It's coming...the only question is WHEN! While BTC will never be as powerful as the FED, the idea could become as strong, and an incentive to move away from the financial institutions that run the ****ing planet and are the main backers of the intel organizations and MIICC. Again. Forewarned is forearmed.
