The PERFECT underground currency; a peer-to-peer virtual currency, free from government control and interference; free from taxation if you had worked it properly, untraceable and the ideal currency for a completely anonymous world-wide network of free marketers, buyers, sellers, investors...
..in short, a Brave New World of independence and freedom.
You mean a "utopia"?
(Sorry, had to say it.)
Really, the "Well, it was good while it lasted" attitude of easy surrender I'm seeing on Reddit and forums is quite frankly pathetic, IMHO. Bitcoin is bigger than us. America decides that it wants to lay a heavy hand on Bitcoin? Fine, it will just redirect itself around that "error" and succeed in elsewhere in the world. Or it will evolve to meet the challenges placed upon it by an ever-deteriorating superpower. DarkWallet, for example.
Throwing up hands in despair at the first conspiratorial whiff of government intervention is juvenile. Scurrying off into ever smaller enclaves of altcoins is similarly juvenile. We live in the real world. If anyone thought the American government was going to look the other way and let Bitcoin jeopardize the future of its fiat is naive to say the least.
We meet challenges head on. At least those we believe in.
