Ok, let's say a commercial comes on TV, and at the payment screen, they claim to accept bitcoin. Like an infomercial. Now, at this point the government would be pushed to make a decision or start a fight with this economy, wouldn't they? What would happen in this situation?
I bet this is close to how it's going to happen. A somewhat larger business is going to say they accept bitcoin, the media is going to cover it, the nation is going to watch and then the fight is gonna happen.
Thoughts?
I don't understand why they would fight honestly. If they actually were looking into Bitcoin as they should, they will realize that Bitcoin is the best chance they have at a peaceful way out of this financial mess imo. This might be the first time the gov and the politicians have a currency they can fall back on without having to push through a new model and fight the current model the traditional way. If I were in a position in power of gov looking out, I would not see it so much as a threat, but more like a life jacket for them to avoid facing violent repercussions that are unnecessary.
