it will become more difficult for the government to do something for it
Topic: 2013-12-13: European Union threatens bitcoin seizures (Read 2441 times)
They can block services like exchanges and with them, all the coins they have
If they block the exchanges, then I'll rely on Localbitcoins to convert my BTCs to cash. Nothing the EU can do about it.

Not if those services hold customer bitcoins in a voting pool, they can't.
yes the only thing they can do is block the exchanges from giving you real money! or transforming real money to bitcoins ...
another thing i believe is that they comment against bitcoin - every now and then - so that the price drops and then rise again
i think it is all in the profit game after all!

The proper title for this thread is:
"2013-12-13: NY Times Dealbook: European Union Warns on Bitcoin"
Just FYI.

Thanks for pointing it out. The term "seizure" itself is ridiculous. How can they seize the Bitcoins, when they don't have the private key? The only way for them to do so is to physically detain the owners, and then torture them to reveal their private keys.

I wonder how German bitcoin users will react to this? It is kind of bitcoin Meccah in Europe, and coincidentally the industrial center of Europe too. And the Euro has been losing it's popularity in Germany too, since long before bitcoin started to gain German fans.
I don't think that the euro losing any popularity in Germany. Actually they are the euro because Germany is the strongest economy in the eurozone.

Well, time to rent a private VPS and store my Bitcoins in Russia
'Then be ready to pay the extortion money to the Russian mafia... and perhaps also to Putin.

How many bitcoins to bet Deutsche Mark will rise again? I think we'll see BTC/DM exchange rate some day
would love to see that
Only a fool, or a day trader, keeps anything of value on a centralized website like a bitcoin exchange.
Redundant How they define "misuse". Hasn't been bribery, tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, drug and human trafficking, murder for hire, child pornography with Euros blatant misuse of the Euro currency? Are they going to shut down the Euro?
If you read the actual article, you would see that the title of this thread is completely misleading, and the EU haven't threatened anything, they have warned people of the various risks involved.

That is why your must have control of your coins and don't leave them on online wallets. So no one can keep you from accessing your money! Well, time to rent a private VPS and store my Bitcoins in Russia

Also, reading that article more it's got some false statements going around there, I don't think we can really trust much information coming out of American media these days when it comes to Bitcoin nevermind anything else.

BTC-E should be safe, as it is controlled by Russians. If the EU threatens BTC-E, Putin will just nuke them with his Iskander ICBM.
