At a libertarian convention that was attended by a few friends of mine, I was told that there was a panel of libertarian congressmen, and during a Q&A the question was asked "So if we get rid of the FED, what will we replace it with?" Congressman Massie's response was "Bitcoin!" Massie is quite an impressive guy. He's an MIT educated engineer, and lives in a solar-powered home that he built himself. As far as I know, this may be the first public endorsement of Bitcoin from a member of the US congress. Will try to snag a video if I can find one. edit: found a video http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/36705139start watching around 21:30 |

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Nothing wrong with governments accepting Bitcoin by itself, what I object to is when their special interests or the government itself tries to control it and pretend they're in charge.

2013 - Bitcoin becoming the legal tender of U.S.
2014 - The U.S. government tightens the regulations on Bitcoin after a group of pedophiles were busted.
Late 2014 - Additional regulations are implemented in order to protect the children!
2015 - As the chances of a Bitcoin funded terrorist attack grows Bimbama implements a killswitch for the whole Bitcoin network, 51% of the power is gained by multiple supercomputers fully funded by the taxpayers!
2016 - As unemployment grows the U.S. decides to implement a mechanism of creating new Bitcoins out of thin air!
tl:dr same thing happens to Bitcoin as with USD.

Mid 2014 Bitcoin forks to Bit2 branch and power is returned to the people. Bit2 is accepted and used by all because the entire population in now trained to understand and use it on a daily basis thanks to government training programs. |

+1 It's at 22:00. They basically just make light of Bitcoin for 2 seconds. |

Sadly Bit2 is then demonized by the community shortly after and since most of the people on earth are docile sheep that can't think for themselves Bit2 quickly finds its end. |
