This is one time where policymakers being totally ignorant about the internet actually works FOR us.

By the time they try to "do" something, it will be hilariously too late - the network is too widespread now. Couldn't happen to a better group of bribed jackwads.

Yes it's already too late - the futility of the DHS action basically just highlighted that - the genie's already well out of the bottle. The venture capital community hasn't shown the slightest hesitation to invest millions despite recent the clumsy over-reaching attempts of the DHS to put the brakes on.

For BitCoin to go mainstream we unfortunatley must have their stinky hands in it.

Would you rather this be a tiny $1-3 Billion market as it is now or a $1 Trillion+ that it could be?

If you think "they" will let it get any bigger than it is now, without greasing the powers that be you have alot to learn.

Washington's biggest problem when it comes to Bitcoin may just be that policymakers on the Hill don't know enough about it, yet.

That was the general consensus of a panel of legal experts speaking Saturday at a Silicon Valley conference devoted to the nascent digital currency.
