Live and enjoy experiments
It's one government vs a worldwide population and a hard-to-kill technological advance.

Resistance is futile. If you can't beat it, join it.  Wink That actually is smart.

Good, their greed will be their undoing.

Satoshi must've known this would've been part of the equation. How do you prevent a new currency from being killed? Inspire your critics with the potential rewards. They think they can control the genie in the bottle, but what will really happen is their power and leverage will diminish with every day Bitcoin functions.

Perfect.

Quote
That's one of the lessons that can be drawn from Bitcoin's appearance before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs last week. Despite warnings from law enforcement officials that Bitcoin has made its way into child pornography, firearms, illegal drugs, money laundering, and gambling, the overall atmosphere at the hearing was exceedingly friendly. In fact, officials from the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Secret Service, and the Treasury Department repeatedly cited the positive attributes of Bitcoin, including: "innovative ways to move money" and "potential to support more efficient and transparent global commerce."
