What if the Government loves cryptocurrencies To pay for their spies and .......

[point0]

So What if the Government actually loves cryptocurrencies To pay for their spies and killers and other shady or good activities ?

[unamis76]

Same old story of if you can't beat them, join them. The governments obviously have to profit with cryptocurrencies somehow (they have to profit with everything that exists on the face of the earth...).

The US government has auctioned seized coins. One way to profit As for what you say, who knows? Might be true.

I am not sure what your point is. The consequence would be the same as if drug dealers liked bitcoin because they received bitcoin from their sales from Silk Road.

Just like cash, there are nefarious uses for bitcoin

[Holliday]

Bitcoin is a tool that anyone is free to use if they so choose.

[tiggytomb]

They are making some profit from selling off seized coins, it wouldn't surprise me if they were already doing something like this.  There will no doubt be some conspiracy fans that believe that the government is behind Bitcoin and Satoahi is government.

This wouldn't be anything unusual and extraordinary. It has happened already many times. You remember how US government cooperated with the terrorists during the 80's, the same terrorists that were responsible for the 9/11.

As people have already said above, Bitcoin is free, decentralized and available to everybody, how the people are gonna use it it's their thing. Both, good and bad people.

[twister]

They can but I don't think they do. There are other ways for them to pay for their spies, one of such ways is they do control the banks and can wire under different aliases to different parts of the worlds. The spies usually use credit cards which are issued in different names with no limits and they can be used in worldwide atms for when they need cash in hand. (How do I know this..? Well, I can tell you, but.. )

I don't think they'd use Bitcoin to pay for spies and then spies would have to find a trader and convert them to fiat for them to use it, it's way too much work for them and can reveal their identites.

what will be the difference between pay them with bitcoin vs fiat or gold or....

the problem is not the currency with they are paid, the problem is the act for what they will be paid, and this will be independent from the currency with they are paid. people should start to notice that difference, and stop all those confused news about bitcoin in the last months trying to show people how bad bitcoin is by relation it with crime etc etc...

so what if the gov actually loves euro to pay for killer each other or do good activity?
currency/money is just tools which you can do a good thing or bad thing, it's depends on your humanity. bitcoin is anonymity and everyone can have it.

[Raize]

I mentioned this over four years ago when I was still a newbie.

[AgentofCoin]

...To pay for their spies and killers and other shady or good activities?

I would say most definitely,
that many black operations and non-government approved programs are being financed by and through crypto-currencies.
For the intelligence communities of the world not to use it for those purposes, would be shocking.

[chennan]

Idk if the government and, let's just say, the CIA would use Bitcoin though to use for issuing payments because of the pseudonymity Bitcoin possesses... I would think they would try to use a cryptonote platform, or simply have created their own private cryptocurrency that they only use with other shady businesses.. I would think that's a more likely thing to happen than them using Bitcoin.

[Meuh6879]

Bitcoin is real money.

Gov Money is DEBT in bank.

Bank don't buy Bbitcoins because they can justify it in the year account (stock and bonds).






  trap is a trap ... people can use bitcoin.
bank can't ...

Sure, why not? Bitcoins are very useful for criminals too. (I'm implying that the government is a criminal organization )

[Amph]

as long as they can increase the adoption of it and its price, i'm fine with everything

the final target is the success of bitcoin nothing else

Well I hope not he is doing that is kinda scary better the government well do good things.

I absolutely agree! And the usage of Bitcoin by the Government might even have more advantages: as they say the language you speak has a major impact on how you interpret and define the world, so maybe the same thing's happening with the currency you use?
Hopefully BTC will change them in a good way.

same here. as long as we are getting forward and making profits due to a higher price, then i have nothing against the government taking bitcoin to the next level.
