Actually, with the national debt at 17.5 trillion dollars, those bitcoins even at 1 million dollars each would pay only 0.17% of the debt.... not even close to a few percent. Why does the US marshals office get the proceeds from these anyway?! If anything they should donate them to charities.
good math, but sorry, those are official figures.. if you include IOU notes on social security and many other IOU.. like the foreing country gold that is supposed to be in new york.. they real U$ debt if far beyond 80 trillion ! (source : Agora Financial)
like for the CPI, the entire world is being fooled by those "official numbers"...do your reasearsh, think by yourself, the whole system is on they verge of an inimaginable colapse.. Im quite surprised that all this bluff still old... the day the dollars value of Bitcoin is no more interesting is not so far.. soon bitcoins will be valuable as a mean of exchange for goods, without a $ price tag attached to.
Get a grip, all this is about to explode hard !
