This is a huge technological, monetary, and policy disruption which leaves the Fed, the US govt, and other entities with much less control. Our best case scenarios are modeled upon current bitcoin adoption rates which have simulated a tipping point for the year 2026 (worst case 2021)

this time frame projects the Fed (via the dollar) to lose its dominant global monetary policy maker status – instead everything will superceded by bitcoin. Bitcoin to tha moon 520 here we come !!!

The original was posted over three months ago here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2cpew8/game_changer_bitcoin_research_at_the_federal/The "whistleblower" still refuses to provide any evidence or verification of its truth. It is probably a hoax.

I really think the U.S. government will unfortunately regulate it to the point where it is no longer anonymous and pointless to use.

Practising, yes, getting right, not so much... it's several hundred years of financial disasters if you look close.

That article was published 3 months ago and it's from alex jones' website "infowars.com" IIRC, Alex Jones and the folks at infowars.com were initially claiming that Bitcoin was a secret CIA/NSA conspiracy.

It's still better than FIAT plus if you want anonymous you can go grab some cheap Monero now for later.

this was published a while back, and it seems to be BS. Anyone with a combo of those 3 degrees could EASILY be identified, and his holding of those dont really contribute at all to the story. It seems to be bogus

Info wars does a great job of getting people to look at ads. They do not, however, do any kind of actual reporting.

The top Fed officials are too sure of themselves and won't see the power of Bitcoin until it hits them. Obviously, the article cannot be relied on.

Infowars is just the conservative side of the conspiracy nut job cadre. I do think BTC is a threat to the USD in the long term but I don't believe it because alex jones told me so.

I remember reading about this several months ago. I agree that it is more likely then not going to be some kind of hoax/attention grab. I don't see any real reason to want to say anon while "blowing the whistle" on this.
