Topic: Bitcoin petition to stop US gov from interfering - page 2. (Read 5068 times)

I honestly don't think the government gives a shit about a petition 

If the elites want to do something they will just lie and say a study said that the majority of people are in favor of making it illegal, claim bitcoin funds terrorism, drugs and organized gang rape etc.

they can use any laws they want but it cannot stop it.  Agenda, choose your words wisely, because it can only go so far when the world is against them. We are all looking to an alternative.

LOL

Asking a government to stay out?  GFL.  If they really wanted to, they'll simply use the "terrorism" clause and push their agenda that way.  After all, we all signed over our freedoms for the battle of "terrorism".  It works like this: stop believing the government has any power, and they'll cease to have power.  If you believe Bitcoin is right, you don't need a higher authority to authenticate your belief, not God, nor man.  Asking them "please, please stop bothering us!" with a petition is just advocating the state as something which has power.

The Plot to Criminalize Bitcoin

How do you criminalize bitcoin? The same way you get guns banned: Plan an attack, make sure lots of people get hurt, roll out all the victims in front of the cameras, then use the sob stories as moral justification to crack down with oppressive new laws.

This is the agenda being planned right now with bitcoin. The recipe works like this:

Step 1) Central banks buy up massive quantities of bitcoin currency, driving the prices into the stratosphere and encouraging millions of people around the world to jump on board the “get rich” bandwagon.

Step 2) Once bitcoin valuations reach a sufficient level of insanity, start a massive selloff by dumping the bitcoins you already bought onto the market, offering them for sale at any price (i.e. sell into falling prices, accelerating the loss in valuations).

Step 3) Watch panic take hold as the bitcoin crash accelerates, ending in a catastrophic wipeout of “valuation” of all bitcoins.

Step 4) Find “victims” of the bitcoin crash who can tell a good sob story for the mainstream media about how they invested little Johnny’s college money in bitcoin and lost it all. Roll them out on CNN and MSNBC where they cry on camera and talk about how they were ripped off by bitcoin and now they only trust the government from now on.

Step 5) Demonize bitcoin by characterizing it as a “libertarian pyramid scheme.” Lash out against both decentralized currencies and libertarians.

Step 6) Once the demonization gains traction, have traitors in the U.S. Congress announce a “Consumer Currency Protection Act” that outlaws non-central bank currencies such as bitcoin. It’s all “for your safety,” of course. Shut down all online bitcoin wallets and exchanges, calling them “criminal pyramid schemes” and arrest a few people using bitcoin to send a warning message to the rest.

Mission accomplished! You’ve now made bitcoin look like a “pyramid scheme,” you’ve scared the public into being wary of “anti-government currencies,” and you’ve criminalized their use by consumers.

I have seen claims that the hard fork was cased by the FBI because Gavin had apparently met with them a few days before.
