Our government does not need to strike out pre-emptively at what does not represent any kind of threat; I.E. libertarians. As long as they have a message board to mash keys in and a cold beer to sip while doing it, there is no rebellion.

This is not true. This is what the USA government accused him of. But just check the 5 dollar notes and tell me they can be confused:
Why do you pick the examples with the largest difference to prove your point? It proves that you have decided what you want to believe, and only look for evidence supporting it. What you should be doing is looking for evidence that disproves your own theory. If you did you would have used the most similar money, which are the coins. If you can honestly say that the most similar examples are too different to be confused you would have made a much more convincing argument.

I guess the state has a monopoly on all liberty-oriented figures now.

It's sad how you can start quoting things the founding fathers said or talk about the constitution and suddenly be labeled an extremist.

After reading about what happened to Bernard von NotHaus, I think the government is going to label all libertarian minded people "global anarchist terrorists bent on sending the world into chaos"
Gavin Andreson will be rounded up, tortured in some 3rd world country and will end up in Gitmo. Whether he's libertarian or not will not matter, clearly he's responsible. Satoshi will move to the federal government's no.1 most wanted and ten years after that they'll kill some poor Japanese American IT professional and proclaim "victory!".
Give me any reason these socio-paths we've elected won't do this as they worsen everyone's economic situation?
Seems like this thread is a better fit for the Politics & Society forum. Perhaps I'm missing something. Does anyone have a good reason for why this should be in the Economics forum?

lol@ the liberty dollars, not even CLOSE to what bitcoins are . Won't get into to much discussion debating silly antics. One thing I will say is, if any of these developers/public figures get arrested, the government will see the biggest mass attack in Internet history. They are messing with peoples lively hoods here, and it's not a game anymore.I can see people donating their computers even if they don't know how to hack themselves, just to contribute to the massive DDos attack that will take place, destroying every single financial institution as we know. It will be anonymous times 10000. Don't mess with people, that are intelligent, and have many,many,many powerful computers that can readily become available if the situation called for it. No I'm not making threats, just being realistic at the massive panic/ followed by the HUGE wave of attacks on every single government run financial institution. They will loose trillions in a matter of days. Trillions.

Assassination markets. Lots of talk about these, but none in operation.

Governments and the rich already have the means to assassinate people. Assassination markets would just even the playing field. IMO. It would even the playing field. However what will emerge as victorious will just be another beast with a "might is right" approach. If we sentence people to death then there needs to be a just justice system also. Things like 6 million dead Iraqis since 1990 might constitute such a judgement on large groups of the federal government but I'm very happy that is not my job to decide.
