Anonymint, I don't know how you can even attempt to defend cryptocurrency with stuff like this:
"Japanese companies wishing to use bitcoins will be expected to pay the equivalent of some $300,000 to adopt bitcoin, and there is no guarantee that they will receive a license, even if they abide by government edicts. "
It's not possible for cryptocurrency to escape government regulation (and co-option by default). The only way you're escaping the matrix of govt is using physical gold and silver in the real world outside of the digital realm. How the hell can you claim cryptocurrency is a hedge against govt when they can easily control every aspect about it with barely any overhead? Nobody can muster the overhead required to prevent people from physically transacting in gold and silver in the real world. Nothing in the digital space is a hedge against government.
