right .... Colossus displays a cryptic warning: "THERE IS ANOTHER SYSTEM" 
Is it me or is the bitcoin network now the most powerful supercomputer in the word?
Collossus we know you and GLaDOS are up to no good. How much she charge for a world domination lap dance?
These are the machines built by people and people can take away your precious anytime.

I hope you guys are buying guns and amo along with your GPU's.
No. Guns & Ammo don't make me money.They do. There's a very old and very efficient business model about that. Just ask, in a very polite way, people to give you all of their money. It generally doesn't work except if you have a gun in your hand at the same time. It's very efficient because you can re-use the gun as many time as you want.
Unfortunately, this was a so easy business model that most government made it illegal. Damn government, they are really abusing their power. We should be allowed to conduct any business we want between consenting adults.
No no, you got it wrong. They made it illegal for anyone except themselves.
Hey, some of us are also gun enthusiasts.
And community activists, which is a good way to effect non-state organization. It might not be so bad.

Heh.
Well, I'd prefer never to have to use my guns on anything except inanimate objects, of course. I just worry that when the state is essentially reduced to a very large criminal gang without any attempt at being "legitimate", some people may have little choice.

The remmy up top... .308 or .30-06?

Nobody can stop me from buying mining rigs. If I don't profit from mining directly I'll profit from trading.
If things get to that point, I expect that state will not be very concerned with retaining its image of legitimacy any more. They won't need clever arguments when they have a monopoly on violence.
If governments drop the pretense, they will no longer have a monopoly on violence. Not in places wherein privately held firearms exist in an numbers anyway. Whether those same firearms are "legal" or not. And those that fancy themselves as a legitimate ruling class know this very well.

What bothers me is that bitcoin maybe the defining catalyst for the state to have its "crossing the Rubicon moment", shed any pretense of legitimacy and go completely feral.
After that, she's all on, as far as I'm concerned, with us or against times. And a bunch of computer enthusiasts are on the front-line of much nastiness, how sad would that be?
And there are already laws to that effect on the books in America. It is actually considered fraudulent to present non-legal tender as money.
Popular misconception. From the Treasury's website.
Quote
This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise.
The fact that businesses are not prohibited from refusing legal tender doesn't mean the .gov is okay with them accepting non-legal tender. I'm not an expert in the matter, and I could be wrong. I just don't see how that quote from the Treasury's site shows that I am. I would be interested to see something that does.

Citation?
Can't find any conveniently and I don't care enough to keep looking. Consider the point conceded in your favor.

Market currencies like bitcoin and the Liberty Dollar are far more likely targets then other state-approved currencies, but when things get really hairy they will probably regard ANY potential competition to the dollar as an actionable threat.
They shut down the Liberty Dollar under the premise that it was too similar to federal reserve notes. I'm interested to see what argument they use against Bitcoin...
If things get to that point, I expect that state will not be very concerned with retaining its image of legitimacy any more. They won't need clever arguments when they have a monopoly on violence. I mean, it's not like they don't already break their own laws with things as they currently stand. Though perhaps an event capable of causing such a crisis - such as widespread integration of Bitcoin into the mainstream economy - would render them powerless to prosecute anyone for using Bitcoin in the first place.
The current bitcoin owners could get rich if they bought it all =D
Screw them..I for one would not sell them..
Do you really think that all bitcoin users are motivated purely by profit motives?
how's it gonna look if the goons are kicking in doors of geeks with gaming rigs on "COPS" shows .... those same geeks who bought us lovely toys like iPhone, Facebook, Twitter, email, internet porn ... notta good look ... they can't paint a 100,000 geeks as hackers.
They'll look bad, but I doubt enough people will care to do something about it. The FBI actually (I'm not kidding!) raided university kids' apartment building because they alleged the kids were farming WoW gold. This was just a few weeks ago. Did you see any outrage?
