I'm not in the USA, I don't trade in the USA

And the USA is going to totally destroy its economy in order to kill US use of bitcoins? That's called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Imagine that u r a president. Bitcoin gives ppl a tool to get rid of u. On the other hand u have Internet Switch Kill. Switch it on and u ruin economy of ur country. But u still will be a president. Don't switch it and u'll become an ordinary person without usefull skills. What will u choose?

Then obama will kill usa. But since i'm in europe, this is not my problem Cheesy

Also, even if land based connections are fucked, we still have satellites Wink

Most people on this forum are just saying things, without proper knowledge, analysis or sometimes even a reason (not excluding me). Don't bother getting all wound up because of this, all these crazy ideas lead nowhere.
Keep calm and carry on Tongue

Yeah agreed, and honestly I'm calm. Just I've read the same "story" over and over in the last week or two. People should at least learn to read rubbish before they start writing it, but I know, that's a vain hope. It implies the ability to use the search tool.

Simple.

You can't switch it off. Or you'd be hanged.

Because there are some countries out there who will rightly say that it violates their sovereignty and they'd have to get ISP's in all the other countries to agree to it which is unrealistic because they can't even get them to agree to the anti-piracy programs they put out.

Its very simple. They can't possibly achieve that goal, should it ever become a goal.

Simple Reason: they aren't having mine Grin

And I presume many other people feel that way.

Some people don't seem to get the idea of p2p at all .....

OK. What if USA get Internet Kill Switch?
