I'll say it one more time: we need to cut Bitcoin's apron strings. We can't trust the US gov with this, it's far too important.
The US Government is merely a gnat-fart in the great bitcoin hurricane. Slight impact, minimal staying power.

Quote
Host: Does bitcoin itself, or something like bitcoin; a digitally created currency with a finite supply, actually have a future?
JR: I think it's fascinating, and it, or something like it, I think has a real place. Imagine a world where foreign exchange didn't matter, monetary policy didn't exist, QE wasn't possible.
Host: I'd be out of a Job!
JR: Well, Governments would free up all this talent that's currently focused on all those issues.
Host: OK, Thank you. Jonathan Rushman there with the latest twist and turn in the life of the bitcoin, which I'm sure we'll be doing more on.
