Over the past several months, “virtual currencies” have received increasing attention from law enforcmenet, the business community, the financial sector, and the federal government. As you probably know, virtual currencies are digitally-based money that can be quickly sent between entities over the internet and that have no central bank or government entity that backs them.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Dollar and euro are not backed by gold. They are just pieces of paper that can be printed at will

Gold. It doesn't back everything, but still.

Fiat currencies have not been backed by gold for quite a long time.

which is precisely why there is such a thing as inflation and bubbles in the economies of the world.

letter is irrelevant, especially the attempt to link bitocins to organised crime.

recent statistics have shown in the last 4 years billions of dollars, euros yen etc have been seized in relation to crimes. in the same period, only 11BTC has been seized.

It won't matter.  Of course, all the government wants to do is control everything, and having something out in the wild, like bitcoin, that isn't controlled or regulated infuriates them.

This letter is irrelevant.
Irrelevant:  Only in the sense that even if they decided to completely shut down Bitcoin and ban it in the USA, it would still flourish because its international, and viral.

Relevant:  Because its a huge first step in acknowledgement, which will increase Bitcoin value, legitimacy, and success.

Therefore this letter is very relevant.
