OMG, this is how government will do the 51% attack! Buy up others preorders at a premium, half the price of just buying as many as possible from the factory.
If the government will do a 51% attack, I will leave this country because lets think about this for a second:
- 1) Cost of a 51% attack is expensive. EXPENSIVE.
- 2) They'd have to use tax money. The money that I spend in stores on top of whatever product I am buying. Wouldn't make me happy.
- 3) When and/or if they achieve a 51% attack, the value of their equipment will drop drastically.
- 4) Any government who is willing to 1) spend a lot of 2) my money and 3) depreciate the value of the equipment 2) my money bought is not one that I want to follow.
If the government wants to partake in bitcoins, that's cool with me but I don't see that happening.
