Well by now Trace Mayer and howtovanish.com  are pretty much 'within the Bitcoin community' - so reporting his articles here probably no longer counts as an external 'press hit' - but I guess that's debatable Smiley

Why Bitcoin Acceptance Should Be A Litmus Test Of Liberty Proponents

...
By accepting bitcoins merchants protect their customers from potential identity theft or political persecution from purchasing liberty orientated products and services. Failure to accept bitcoins casts aspersions on their sincerity towards the fight for liberty because it leaves open the possibility of them being a honeypot.

From the article:

Quote
Have you ever ordered The Law from Amazon, taken a Mises Institute course, bought Jim Willie’s newletter, bought gold or silver from GoldSilver or GoldMoney, subscribed to Doug Casey’s investing column, made a donation to LewRockwell.com, participated in Tom Wood’s Liberty Classroom, bought Gerald Celente’s Trend Research, bought from Alex Jones’ various products, donated to Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty, donated to Stefan Molyneux, subscribed to the incredibly insightful Robert Wenzel of Economic Policy Journal, subscribed to The Dollar Vigilante Jeff Berwick, consulted with privacy advocate Mark Nestmann, joined The Sovereign Society, been considering purchasing the highly anticipated Silent Circle by PGP creator and Internet Hall of Fame Inductee Phil Zimmermann, used the VPN CryptoHippie, donated to AntiWar and countless others.

This has been stated a number of ways, first back in 2010 when Wikileaks got cut off by PayPal.

And there have been a number of people that have weighed in with the same argument that anonymity like cash is needed, ... from Jon Matonis, Peter Sunde ( http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-03/19/future-of-money ), Rick Falvinge, and a handful of others.

But nobody before has brought this message to THIS crowd ... the LewRockwell contributors, and the gold bugs, etc.

It's almost like there needs to be a paranoid release of Firefox that intercepts web request and suggests you use Tor before browsing these and suggests you use bitcoin when trying to enter a credit card or make a payment using PayPal for any potentially honeypot sites.

Yeah Trace is doing an amazing work and as he said in 'that' interview for quite selfish reasons, as it should be. As more and more people transfer wealth into bitcoins his get more valuable.

My personality type: INTJ - please forgive my weaknesses (Not naturally in tune with others feelings; may be insensitive at times, tend to respond to conflict with logic and reason, tend to believe I'm always right)

i've followed Trace since when i first bought gold/silver back in 2005 or probably before that as he was instrumental in my decision to buy pm's.  he is making the transition from gold/silver to Bitcoin like me altho not quite as fast.
