For real, we don't need the government mining bitcoins or any other coin for that matter. Its only going to push us small time miners overboard, drowning in our sorrow because the diff keeps jumping 100%.

You have no clue what you are talking about!

Many times over the last few days I have heard that the government mining bitcoins is the only real way to make sure that the network is secure. An attack on the network can be done today for a few hundred million bucks. I know that sounds like a bunch but one unhappy bank or CC company can attack the network without flinching. A few hundred million is nothing to a bank with trillions.

That's a great question. I have been wondering this myself since the latest hearings.
I can only assume they will get them built from one of the huge chip guys out there.

All I know is that time and time again over the two days of testimony I heard the speakers suggest that the only way for the network to be truly secure is if the gouv gets behind it and starts working to secure it and its future.

Pure speculation, but is the UK government already mining Bitcoins?  Wink

Cex.io is a registered UK LTD company on Threadneedle Street, the same street as the Bank of England, in the City of London where all the old money banks are located!

And the US government owns the "undefined" part of the hashrate. Waiting for a right moment to use there 51% share.  Cheesy

My guess is they were mining it long before most people on here had heard of bitcoin.

BTC is useful to resolve infinite FIAT problem between countries.

FOREX, FIAT, BTC, Alt crypto, commodities should have technologies converged and linked to real physical world.  New digits are not mined but a record of input from reserve from real world rather than mining.

It's more likely part of this company's 'virtual office' which is in that building.  Anyone can get a fancy address through these guys.
