All the government does when you don't pay taxes is seize your assets.

Seize? You meant steal, using force if you happen to defend your property. Try to resist their seizure / stealing of your car and they will shoot you dead. If you somehow survive, you get in prison. If you want to leave the prison to have a beer with friends, the prison guard will shoot you dead.

But wait, why would you want to resist; they have all the guns in the world, they have tanks and combat airplanes. Why would you resist them? They are such nice people  Grin

wants to allow a quasi-currency to fund terrorism.  Nor do I.

The drug war does more to fund terrorism than anything Bitcoin could ever do. Only 20% of Afghanistan men can read. Do you really think they are using Bitcoin? I live among them, they do not even know how to use a toilet properly let alone a crypto currency. Whoever is telling you that all of these restrictions they are putting on Americans' freedoms is to help stop terrorists is blowing a lot of smoke up your ass.

First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders  Of course we accept bitcoin.

100 million is highly disputable. There were not statistics at that time. Region of 15 million is more realistic. But still very high.

Disputable yes, but not unfounded.

when will the p2p exchange be built?
The answer is easy. Never!

P2p exchanges are only possible if you exchange p2p currencies. Fiat is meant to be centralized as much as possible. That is, if you attempt to handle fiat in p2p way you'll break a dozen of laws and regulations in every country!

it can be done by using multisignature transactions to create a risk fund which makes it in the interest of both parties not to cheat. With this you can do blind trades with people on the internet that you know nothing about and have every expectation that they will actually send you the cash in the mail that they have promised to send.

Please correct me if I am wrong but Iran (Persians) did not attack any other country in the last 300 years. Why are you afraid of them?

Sorry dude, I am an American.  People don't tell me what to do at gunpoint because I am not a criminal.  And don't waste your time telling me some cock-a-mamy scheme that if I don't pay taxes men with guns will show up at my door.

you deny the fact that if you fail to pay taxes men with guns will show up at your door with every intention of kidnapping you and that if you resist their attempts to kidnap you that you will be shot?

thats sort of amazing. what DO you think would happen if you decided never to pay another tax? do you think the government would just say "ah well you win some you lose some" and then leave you in peace for the rest of your life? you really truely honestly believe this is what would happen? I think you must be trolling, no one is that stupid.

you Americans seem to think that the USA is the "land of the free" but it's actually one of the most restricted NON-free countries in the world.

It's of constant amazement to me how few people seem to realise or acknowledge this.

Your concern is a paranoid delusion, unlike the government's which is based on strategies for geopolitical dominance.

you should be more careful with your words.  you are implying a fear that does not exist.  I said concerned not afraid.  if you are not concerned about Iran you don't understand how they censor the media and try to keep their people in the dark like the Chinese used to do.

In next week's episode Viceroy will try to claim that the U.S. government doesn't censor the media.

I love the cowards afraid of intelligent discussion who just immediately hit the ignore button on my posts...

the op implies the US government is hindering bitcoin somehow.  the same government who is the richest country in the world with GDP 10 times larger than most any other.  the same government who makes banking rules that match the Europeans and Asians and the same country who, despite regulation, is the richest on the planet.

I guess regulation is not a problem, unlike the ops supposition.
