OP does have a point, Satoshi did walk away the moment Gavin accepted the invitation to speak with the CIA. Coincidence?

YES THAT WAS TOTALLY AND COMPLEETLY A COINCEDENCE!!!! HE WUZ PLANNING ON LEAVING WAY BEFORE THAT!

I THINK THE OP IS RIGHT, SO I'M GONNA MOVE THE SOURCE CODE TO SUMPLACE MORE SECURE WHERE THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T SEE IT ANYMORE. AND I WENT AND GOT ME A GOOD HAT TO WEAR WHEN I WRITE CODE SO THEIR SATELITES CANT HEAR ME EITHER.

FOR THE CHILDREN!

Is this the real Gavin? Maybe someone hacked his account. I didn't expect that he had a sense of humor. Too much stress to still be funny. can anyone confirm?

He is being sarcastic. He is trying to get across a point that having bitcoin be open source is much better then it be closed source and the government not have access to information about bitcoin

Or maybe I just ate too much peyote one night (and, happily, decided to read bitcointalk instead of write some code).

(and for the humor-impaired: NO, NOT SERIOUS. Everybody knows I don't eat peyote, I spend my money on hookers and blow.)

I think that gavin can be officially be added to the short list of people who are able to successfully troll the trolls who do not have a good understanding of Bitcoin related concepts.

Slightly off topic - the OP of the thread you posted to said that you actually gave a presentation (I always thought it was a more of a interview type meeting about bitcoin)....do you potentially have the ability to show this presentation, or would "you need to kill me if you told me"

At least you didn't code all night. I can only imaging the errors that would introduce. lol

I would say that satoshi may have walked away when you talked to the CIA because with the CIA involved, there was a much greater chance of him getting doxxed, which he clearly did not want.

As you are implying (via sarcasm), one major feature that Bitcoin has that has caused it success (and will continue to cause success) is the fact that it is 100% open source, so that anyone, including the government, can see, and test it. This allows for anyone to attempt to advance it's features and useability

You have the right to remain silent anythin you say can and WILL be used AGAINST you in the court of law.......

This is a right that many people very stupidily dont pay attention to the keywords... you must always always flex your right of silence and use it;... if all else fails and you are in sticky situation with gov't lawyer up quick and let him do all the speaking for you

I disagree I think it's a bit of a stretch, the government and all these others don't see Bitcoin/Crypto as enemies. The government sees Bitcoin as a nice way to TAX wealth without having to physically print money and with a nice public ledger to see where the funds went,

This is a bit silly as 99% of fiat is digital and on traceable ledgers that are openly shared with the FBI/NSA/and other investigators. Bitcoins pseudonymous nature does make it more difficult for them vs 99% of fund transfers.

THe thing that first caught my attention that BTC would be something that I would want to use is the fact of the anonymity of it. That and the USA would and should have no jurisdiction on how it is spent I.E. Gambling/Donations/Purchases but seems that even though you are not gambling with USD funds, the great states of America still make gambling with BTC illegal??? <---- how is this just?

Evolution is the only way to survive

OP is right .At least , You guys should realize that big brothers and companies are not fun of bitcoin.
The idea behind bitcoin is totally disobey their will . They see bitcoin as enemies . Bitcoin/Crypto world will lose the battle by underestimating them

The government has no barriers to learning about bitcoin. All of it is pretty much public domain information. One can learn pretty much everything they want to know by reading posts here so should we shut this site down? Open source and transparency is a double edged sword.

This is the reason why it does not matter what 'anyone' 'tells' the government about Bitcoin. There is more then enough information for any party to learn massive amounts about Bitcoin without anyone giving them a shred of information.

I would dispute that this would be considered to be a double edged sward. The fact that Bitcoin is open source and worked on by many people allows everyone to try to find exploits in the code, and any such exploits be fixed

Tell them nothing.

Agents of the Law: Ask them if you are being detained, and then walk away.

Representatives of the People: Vote for the good ones.

Government is NOT your master, they are the servants of the people.

They claim to be. But servants cannot tax, draft or imprison their masters.
