Will bitcoins be illegalized in 2013?

it would be easy to make bitcoin illegal.... but MUCH harder to cripple or eradicate it completely... so doubt they'll even bother making laws on it

it would be easy to make cannabis illegal.... but MUCH harder to cripple or eradicate it completely... so doubt they'll even bother making laws on it


i hope this illustrates how hopelessly misguided that statement sounded to me.

My hope is that Bitcoin stays under the radar until it's in widespread use, and then it's too late for the government to ban it. Just like happened with alcohol, tobacco and the internet. They got too big before the government could stop it and use their propaganda against it, so they just had to accept it. Perhaps it will happen with Bitcoin too.
