I think the possible danger to bitcoin from this is that there is a huge upsurge in use of crypto for private communications, resulting in attempts to ban crypto or filter/suppress traffic that appears to be encrypted.
Thats the issue, your using the tool they give you (SHA function), but don't let u see it for a obvious reason. Its like sticking you best piece into the glory-hole. Job gets done, but what else happens (photo taken, measured.....)

Question is where does this leave Bitcoin? The NSA made SHA-2 sitting right at the heard of it and having a natural back door build into it.

Is the NSA limited to collecting data from servers based in the US only, or servers owned by US owned companies no matter where they are based?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2013/jun/09/nsa-whistleblower-edward-snowden-interview-videoI think by what the whistleblower said in this video, they are not limited to anything. He said he could even wiretap Obama if he wanted.

I think they can from any entity they can get their hands on.

You are so wrong. Faschism is form of collectivism. My source are original pre-war books by Benito Mussolini. Police State are one of properties of society not directly related to form of government or ideology. Communists, monarchists, fascist dictatorships and now democracy have police state too.
America is run by fascists and attempts to carve all its citizens into fascists (unsuccessfully, though we have a few on this forum; see: anyone who says "If you don't like it, then you can get out.") I'm not sure if you're trying to say I'm using the wrong term (I thought about it for a while and I'm still not sure if it's the word I'm looking for) or saying that America's not fascist, but the police state is drawn from fascism, else you couldn't have it; your citizens wouldn't believe your BS, and there's a whole heap of fascism in this country with democracy as the shell. Perhaps plutocracy or oligarchy would've worked better.

Not bad, at least Us and Them I think, although The Great Gig was kinda butchered.
An interesting one was Money from the Dubber side of the Moon.

The thing is the Verizon court order also has a gag part.
i) Companies are allowed to lie for national security reasons.
ii) The Verizon court order explicitly ordered everyone who knew about it to keep quiet.
It seems you can't trust anyone in the world right now.i) Companies are allowed to lie for national security reasons.

What is the most free country in world where internet is unregulated by law? Probably Somalia? Internet there is supplied by foreign mobile carriers so probably they are regulated by french or whatever laws applicable to them.
Software piracy are fully legal and authorized in Iran. But porn and many other good things are blocked there.
Sweden are no more a safe place for data hosting. Now Iceland have taken it's place.
Russia is very bad now because of Putin's developing dementia and resulting laws against many things in internet.
If these trends continiue next 5 to 10 years we are totally fucked. Unless there are independent internet access points launched into space orbit.
