I hate to agree with a bank but they are exactly right. The peaceful revolution is just beginning.

i really hope citi doesn't consider it a big threat.. they'll group up with their banking compatriots and buy the shit out of washington, and the magically all of a sudden.. a majority of our elected officials will be absolutely against bitcoin.

No shit, I pay with my Android app, scan the code, type amount and hit send way faster than pay with a card. I happen to be in a country where they only accept cards with PIN+Signature too... very annoying. |

They will do that either way unfortunately. Mastercard has all ready hired lobbyists to do it. |

Sadly that is the American system in a nut shell. |
