Give up OP, this is just complete nonsense. Whoever tries to ruin Bitcoin will not only ruin the price too, but their own lives. They will be hated for life, the devs know it, thats why they will stay open source and decentralized. We are on the same team. You are worrying about a non issue.

No..., I disagree. OP should ask questions that may be uncomfortable or to clarify. Without the free exchange of information I have read here, I would be less informed about Bitcoin's strengths and weaknesses.

TPTB could make BTC much harder to use by clamping down on exchanges or other chokepoints of trading BTC for US$ for example. I have used BTC to buy ONLY gold, and if TPTB shut down the retailers' abilities to get fiat, that would mean that I would less interest in BTC.

If bitcoin is written and 100% controlled by government, no one would use bitcoin anymore, bitcoin price crashed & government effort to control bitcoin is useless.

So, i think government won't write codes for bitcoin & hold full control over bitcoin, but they'll "regulate" bitcoin indirectly.
From, give many rules to bitcoin company such as must give tax, report user activity to government, apply a license & many more.
But, we can use our bitcoin freely by avoid those bitcoin company & be anonymous all the time.

I believe there are no chances for that as bitcoin network and it's ecosystem is completely coded to work along with TCP/IP of internet usage. Only if they are able to control internet they can have access to bitcoin network. Till then, true freedom of decentralization is for every human of this planet.

Bitcoin can not be hijacked, since even if the Core development team did become compromised we could all just choose to adopt an alternative implementation of Bitcoin instead. Even if the majority does not choose freedom and does side with a Bitcoin that compromises the principles of decentralization and financial freedom. Then as an individual you can always choose to adopt an alternative cryptocurrency instead. Because of this, the crypto revolution will never die. We will from now on wards always have the choice, this volunteerism and freedom is one of the greatest technological gifts of our time. So embrace alternative implementations and alternative cryptocurrencies because they are an extension of the ethos of Bitcoin itself and help preserve the decentralization and financial freedom most of us here have grown to love.

Tell that to peer-to-peer filesharing. The media moguls and copyright cartels haven't managed to shut that down yet. Peer-to-peer moneysharing will be no different.
Then there's the "war on drugs", "war on terror", "war on poverty" and all those other wars they're not only failing miserably at winning, but even making worse purely by their own involvement.
I think we're good here. Besides, it'll probably be the "bankster-friendly" crapcoins like Ripple/Stellar that get taken over by more official organisations.

I agree with your post on all points. They can't really shut down P2P.

I don't know if authorities can't fully shut down P2P. But they can really made our life harder. Look what happened with torrent community in some countries.
And governments were already performed tests on how to effectively block every bitcoin related services and sites in Venezuela as far as I know.

Bit overdramatic don't you think? Also, America has no king and will never have one.

Well if there were ever to be a King of America I'm sure he would suffer the same fate as Louis XVI did after the French Revolution. Americans aren't that apathetic enough to let this happen (yet).

.. I would disagree with this.. 10-20% are heros the rest.. sheep.. such such sheep that would fight the leaders of freedom if told too...

There are way to many blind sheep on this planet.

That is precisely why Bitcoin makes abstractions of failed "democractic" concepts and is resilient to tyranny of the masses.

The recent XT/BIP101 fiasco is a clear enough demonstration of the antifragile properties of Bitcoin.

That makes no difference!

Maybe it is time to leave the US and go to a better country? Maybe Europe will be attractive to you?

Can just look at the posts on this forum and how eager some people was to defend XT even after all the crap in the code was found.
And how some want to block tainted coins
It also doesn't go a day without someone telling people that regulation is a good thing and that we have to comply, so it wouldn't suprice me if this happens if enough people buy into it

It would be like them trying to shut down the internet. Even if they would be able to do that it would mean that we would have to find new ways to transfer value from one place to another.

I heard of some guys working on radio frequencies to be able to use a bitcoin wallet with them. The future is interesting.

You statements can only be true if bitcoin fail. It is controlled by everyone on the peer to peer network. No one have full control over it.

You will have no choice.

You're either trying to spread FUD or you are very misinformed. Bitcoin is a open source project. If something suspicious was pushed into the code, we would know about it. Bitcoin as a technology works, and it will work regardless of the price being $300, $3, $0.03 (or the number of people using it being very low). If Core was updated to 1.0 (random) right now that included "badChange1" and "badChange2" (both random), then anyone who is using their brain would stay at the current version. They can't force us into anything, no matter what they do.

thejaytiesto, MickeyB, poncom

All three of your remarks above give me some hope that privacy can be maintained in our "NewEra". I sure hope so.

I am not in a position to know (not a programmer, etc.), but BTC at least seems to be pretty secure. I do not enough about TOR, there are constant rumors about TOR being compromised.

* * *

poncom, other than TOR's own website, is there any site that can give a beginner a reasonably good explanation of it as well as an assessment of its security?
