Bitinstant just made a great PR stunt, I'd love to see any acknowledgement from the romney camp or the obama camp, that would be amazing news.

Romney could buy $2 million dollars of bitcoin and after he gets elected allow the IRS to take it for taxes

I was talking about a realistic scenario, where things are done behind closed curtains, if any. Several things about how the world of politics and power work make this very unlikely. It is fun to speculate about it though... (Well 1000 is the square root of 1000000 after all)

I should have known you'd bring that up... you'd agree this is a whole different level? Like the moon vs alpha centauri or something..
