bitcoin can slide without any copyright... why? because there is no single entity to sue... dummy... it'd be a nightmare for any lawyer...

i'm not sure who your calling a dummy?  if every decent sized bitcoin outlet got a cease and desist, like mtgox and bitcoin.org, telling them to stop using a trademark or legal actions will ensue...

Yes you can, but we would rather have you embrace ours--Bitcoin.
