The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

some purple voluntarily sign up for military service. so they are not entirely funded by theft.
But once in they get supplied with uniforms, guns, MRE's etc. I guess the real question is when will arms manufacturers accept bitcoin? I know Russia/China etc would rather be paid in non-USD, a state-backed exchange in these countries would be VERY interesting.

you get the idea. but governments are sluggish, they take time to make decisions and implement. if they choose bitcoin, we can dump it and move to a more advanced one, or beta yet, we'll have physical 3d printed coins that are verifiable. If you want to avoid governments.... it's gonna be guerrilla warfare.

If you want to see direct US action, let the market reach 10 or 100 billion us$ in volume, that will be an economy the size of three 3rd world countries. You'll see the gov use for a while, mostly for external transactions, until the people it doesn't like adopt the system and profit from it. At that point, they will kill it using any of the many options available to them. imagine if iran bought restricted nuke tech using bitcoins.

Let them have their nukes, a balance of power is not the worst.. just look at the mining process of bitcoin. We are all sitting here contemplating how someone could pull an Iran nuke but with bitcoin. Junk food imposes greater damage to people and the healthcare system, that cannot really be helped. Heart disease, cancer, car accidents, swimming pools are a bigger threat than iran.

ya but it would be in no ones interest to do this. we would just hard fork into a new POW scheme.
