We all hear about using Bitcoin to fund defense counsel, but what if people start using Bitcoin to fund lawsuits against bad agents? What would happen?

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Warning: another newbie who's been hanging in shadows - first post   Cheesy

It would be interesting to see if a pool of bitcoiners could leverage their collective spending power on counsel to represent them or the interests of affected class members either directly as a party or as Amicus Curiae (friends of the court) in big constitutional challenges -- e.g., if the NY regulations ever passed, the current ambitious (!) definition of "resident" would likely become onerous for those who could least afford to fight that classification.

Similarly, from a lawmaking perspective, are any lobbyists accepting cryptocurrency? Hot Dog Venders for Free CryptoCommerce, anyone?
