It was actually pretty scary (I remember reading it in 2005), but thankfully never ratified, as far as I can tell:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_establishing_a_Constitution_for_Europe

+1 see? Europe is better, ElectricMucus.

Well, for what it's worth, I remember reading a draft of this treaty back in 2005 and it scared the shit out of me. I'm currently trying to dig that up... France and the Dutch held their ground against this thing for a reason.

And, I live in the USA and I am a proud American and I love my country, so please stop hatin'; however, I will defend your right to hate. (but only so far on any given day ... depends on my mood).

oh im not hating, we just better than you, except for making burgers Tongue

But yous are haves bad grammar XD

oh yes, im not a one native English speakering.

Remember 2 things people: DCMA (well most probably weren't even intersted in 'this stuff' back then)
and the US Patriot Act.

Both have their equivalent all over Europe and the Asian industrialized nations heck even the whole world. Don't be that naive Angry

The exchanges take their fee from both sides of the transaction - so you can double any estimate.

For all I care they could all shut down.

A decentralized exchange method will come up.

There's also a good chance bitcoin will be prohibited under US FINCEN rules, which would cause the whole thing to move underground.

But rather than a decentralized techno-darknet, I think the replacement would be more like how drugs are distributed now, with a shadow distribution network.

Wouldn't it be ironic if weed were regulated and taxed like alcohol, available for purchase in stores, but bitcoins were illegal and had to be bought in person? "Sorry honey, I'll be home late, I'm meeting up with my bitcoin dealer after work".

If I buy bitcoin with Euro in Japan, then how is FINCEN involved?

About 1/3 of bitcoin hosts are in the USA:

If it happens, you'll be affected, albeit indirectly. Maybe we can get Occupy Wall Street to make Bitcoin legalization one of their demands.

the internet can be shut down.

no it can not, a country can close all connections, from it self, but not shut the whole thing down. simply not possible.

Correction the last mile isps can be. The cronies would still have the datacenters and international fiber lines.

Also the physical exchange of values can be buffered/delayed and managed by the system. Bin-packing algos and stuff.
