"Economist Simon Johnson says governments will feel the urge to suppress the crypto-currency Bitcoin."

OMG, really?

I always thought they'd welcome Bitcoin with open arms. What a surprise!

Governments are indifferent to bitcoin because it is no threat.

The professor is an ignorant idiot who chose something useless to study.
Feel free to quote me and send him a mail. Sheep chose to remain sheep.

Yeah I was really expecting the governments to openly accept a decentralized currency which should replace their government issued ones. I was surprised that they did not do it. Roll Eyes

I think he was actually trying to make a name for himself. By making such a bold prediction that he felt had somewhat of a chance of happening he would potentially become known for being able to predict price crashes. Regardless he generated a lot of press for himself
