I've not stayed anonymous enough. After all, block chain is forever. Ideally I'd have bought all my coins for cash and used the internet 100% from behind a private VPN.

overregulation is my main problem, as i know it will stifle growth and centralize Bitcoin's control to a few players.

[gentlemand]

I ain't got enough of them. No doubt an oldie but a goldie.

Regulation will be a green light for a wave of money to pile in. That'll no doubt dilute the original concept but it'll be a fact of life. It's also largely in the hands of a few players right now.

Perhaps you are not alone in suspecting this. I notice that the two countries who can and do oppose the USA the most, are the two nations whose central banks have banned Bitcoin. I would imagine that Bitcoin could be put to great use in undermining the currencies and economic systems of other countries if it were to be an innovation of the secret services.

Bitcoin crashed big time in 2011 after Gavin visited the CIA, perhaps coins being shifted to friends. Seriously suspect.

[Hyena]

so let's assume USA knows its economy is going to collapse. What would be the most strategic move in that situation?
--- Bring all the others down with them!

Bitcoin does it very well. Not to mention that FBI already has quite a load of bitcoins. It can even be part of the NWO. The suspicious aspect is that I don't see any bad things related to NWO coming with cryptocurrencies.

eh wot!?

Wot about a completely cashless society, with every transaction going on ledger, with them controlling the value of the currency and each citizen being allowed one and only one wallet which they are allocated along with their global subject ID number?

Think that Bitcoin couldn't be turned into that?

[podyx]

SHA256 broken??

dont act like its gonna happen

if its a time question when SHA256 gets broken then who the fuck would invest even a penny if it wasnt for profit?

Because maybe it is a time question and t = 10000 years.  Problem?

Actually I've already thought about that scenario too. Let's say Bitcoin gets approved by governments but only Bitcoin and you must verify your addresses with your ID to some government officials. If at any point money comes to your addresses from unknown sources then you must either explain where that money came from (pay taxes/go to jail) or give it away to the government. Sending money to unknown (off the legal grid) addresses also needs explanation.

Operating with off-the-legal-grid BTC addresses can then be monitored with conventional NSA methods and if they discover you doing so then you will go to jail.

Never again I will ride a conventional bike... Been kickbiking for 2 years already and it's the second best thing after Bitcoin that has happened to me.
