When BTCs get really really big, they're going to associate it with terrorism, mark my words.
"Terrorism" is nowadays the same as witchery was in Medieval ages. Just an excuse for expropriation.

They already are, at least the press is. The government itself is too, to a certain extent. Read the fincen documents. A rough paraphrase: People or organisations who sell or buy decentralized currencies for fiat must get documents that can uniquely identify each and every user and provide said documemts to the gpvernment whenever the government wants so the government can protect society from terrorists, illegal weapon transfers, and other illegal activities.

Pedophiles were the creation of the media and other dark forces wanting to have an excuse to monitor the internet - before 1994, pedophiles were just dirty old men who hung around parks inviting kids to play with puppies and sharing their sweets! Everyone know they existed, but the threat was contained!
Bitcoin will get the same treatment, and many people will fall for it.

This will not work so easily. With pedophiles and child porn it is easy to reach consensus amongst the masses, there is a strong emotional component to this topic, everybody loves children and hates when bad things are done to them.
But with bitcoin you can't do that so easily, nobody loves bankers, it would need massive reprogramming of public opinion over many decades to reach the point where people would actually truly *believe* that bitcoins were inherently bad and trying to f*ck up a central banker and his ponzi scheme would be considered immoral.
Or you just call everyone using it baby-killing armed holdup drug addicts and associate them.
This is the best thread I've read in a while
Have a confession to make though, I don't know what FUD actually means. lol
I described that Guardian article in my blog as 'probably the worst piece of journalism I've ever read'
Haven't read all the ones in the update though.#
I LOVE that Ghandi quote, so true!

First they ignore you.
Then they try to fight you.
Then you win.

FUD is working. the masses are going to get their information from news, they don't have time to research this and that.
the illuminati is working with the press to destroy bitcoin, we can't do anything now.

I don't think the Russian mafia cares of the FUD, nor do the corrupted Chinese diplomats. Because so far, Bitcoin as a money laundering method works wonders.
While money laundering is a questionable/despicable use, I speculate that in short term the price will be sustained by it, thus counterbalancing the bad press effect - and geez we got loads more bad press today
Bitcoin is nowhere near large enough to be useful for money laundering in the amounts these people have. It wouldn't be difficult to track 10% of the entire money supply moving around no matter how you divided it, unless you were willing to wait a year or two to get your money back.

At least the majority of commenters are pointing out Heidi's a hack. If everyone was screaming in agreement, I'd be a saaaad panda.

An obscure newspaper – used mostly for spreading lies and scaring an ignorant populace – suffered a sudden embarassment on Wednesday, causing a minor sensation mostly among their financial backers and their uneducated readership.
The Guardian is a rag created years ago by an obscure hack in the spirit of subversion, to manipulate public opinion while dodging the responsibility of good journalism. While theoretically it can publish respectable news and articles, it is too complicated to think up and write for people who don't have a clue about journalism, so it is used primarily to spread FUD and ignorance. It has dropped drastically in value. You can barely read a page without finding some pundit opining on how "Bitcoin is the worst thing in existence" or how the Guardian writers will someday splooge out a good article. Maybe someday, but no time soon.

The first time I'd prefer to see Bruce Wagner's face.
+1 If this is not FUD I don't know what is.
I knew I should've stopped reading that Guardian article the moment I read the title. *facepalm*
At this stage I no longer care about stupid reporting. Bitcoin has succeed in finding a path to the main stream. Players with strong hands, deep pockets, and keen minds are moving into bitcoin and some sophomoric reported is not going to dissuade them.
Let the fools talk and suppress the price a little longer. More cheep coins for us, right?

Pretty much.
The level of lol from the bears and press is reaching epic proportions.
Won't sell even if it drops to $50. Freedom is a beautiful thing.

This thread is the best reason to sell since BTC broke 20.
There has never been, and there will never be a good reason to sell BTC...even if it says so in the small print.
This thread is the best reason to sell since BTC broke 20.
OK, I hold so.
Thanks ElectricMucus.
"An obscure digital currency – used mostly for running drugs and laundering money for dictators –" LOL, yea I'm sure all the dictators in the world are sitting in front of their computer, checking out Bitcoin charts, and wondering how they can launder their money in an ecosystem that's smaller than the amount of money they spend in a week.
WTF? Why would a dictator want to 'launder money?' They are the ones that define 'money laundering' in the first place. Jump to:
