My opinion:
It's clear that the U.S. Government and Federal Reserve and the banks are terrified of Bitcoin, because it shifts the power back to the people again. Bitcoin enables the 99% to take control of their financial future again.
You'll know that Bitcoins have really caught on with the mainstream public when the U.S. Government announces in a press release: "Terrorist group funded with Bitcoins" (or some other anti-Bitcoin propaganda) in an effort to discredit Bitcoin.
I'm sure that there will be many dirty tricks like this coming down the pipeline soon.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Just look how hard they have tried to demonise P2P file sharing and you see the propaganda fails.

It's funny because Bitcoin is also p2p. |
@DanielJonss. On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

I wish that the media frenzy would die down, or else governments will be trying even harder to shut down or "regulate" BTC, ala Napster.
Time will tell if they start some new battles...but I believe BTC will survive.

There will no doubt be alot of propaganda, but as legitimate businesses take up this new currency it will be harder and harder for the government to pull the plug (just too big to fail).

the truth is that one cannot buy something illegally. Only stealing is illegal. It is the evil government that declares things as illegal. How can you own xyz illegally, if you have paid for it with your own money?!? |
Truth is the new hatespeech.

I also hope for the media to stop giving BTC all this attention. Their view of it as a "virtual gold" or a bubble is destroying the chance of it becoming widely accepted currency and instead just turning it into another potential commodity investment. |

yes it will only get worst for us. we are dealing with a elitist imperialist regime that does not like anyone having any power except them. As they hide behind hand picked and created puppets and agencies to administer their forms of control across the board in every aspect.   Sing it with me " All around the world same song"....i can't hear you!!!  |

If there is no anti-bitcoin propaganda then it's time for us to get really worried about all this....

Terrorist groups would have to convert BTC to USD to use them.. So technically they would be funded via USD. Unless instead of attacking they want to get some stuff on silkroad and chill out..
