Been sleeping the last ours. I read already about Webmoney accepting BTC and SatoshiDice excluding US customers. Great thing. Anything significant else?
Webmoney also exclude US customers

Cons of living in the UK with regards to Bitcoin:
We can't spend our BTC anywhere a la Gyft (it doesn't stop me asking the biggest gift voucher websites if they plan to do this).
We don't have a Bohemian area in a big city which has adopted Bitcoin like Berlin.
Pros: we can gamble, tax-free.
The net result of which means I have more Bitcoins

Let's visualize the real consequences of the Mt.Gox dilemma:
Just.. wow.
Edit: Oh.. I see. About 50k? BTC sales on Gox last night.

Satoshi Dice has announced that it's blocking U.S. IP addresses from accessing the site:

Lot's of red over at MPEX http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.DICE

LOL, the thing is with Satoshi Dice once you know the Bitcoin deposit addresses the actual website is irrelevant. It only exists to advertise the deposit addresses.
Anyone anywhere in the world can still send Bitcoin to Satoshi Dice regardless of whether the systems website is blocked to their ISP.
Or am I missing something here ?

SMH. This is identical to the poker shutdown except these businesses are being proactive and blocking before the USG arrives. They know the USG is dead serious. Where some see the MtGox thing as "no big deal", rational people recognize it for what it is. A telegraphed warning. Comply or die. Just saying.
And... another isolation for US citizens:

Yup, the United States is getting ready to be isolated completely, just like what happened with poker. You don't have to kill the sites, you just have to block the flow of money. The people at Satoshi Dice were wise to take the advice of "legal counsel" and not the advice of the internets ideological "elite". Seems the love of money does trump hardcore principles after all. Hmmm....imagine that.

You overestimate the negative sentiment the masses have on financial institutions and governments. Yes, everybody complains but most are content with what they have. It's certainly not so drastic that people will go through the incredibly difficult processes of setting up wallets, getting money into the system, buying BTC and then finding a way to spend them, which we know are far and few between.
Not to mention, Bitcoin is becoming a bad word associated with all things criminal much faster than it's becoming some "beacon of light" as it relates to currency. It's highly volatile, it's clunky, difficult and confusing and it's absolutely vulnerable to far too many variables. Image is everything and Bitcoin is losing that battle. It's attractive to diehards and high risk investors sure, but most of them have no clue what mainstream wants because they are completely out of the loop.
Bitcoin is like Napster. It has shown us the way but an "iTunes" is coming to do it right. My guess is that's Ripple. They have the advantage of being able to take the high road and separate themselves from the black market, money laundering stigmata that Bitcoin has developed, while still accepting Bitcoin as a currency. This is good for Bitcoin and it's last gasp at mass adoption. If the masses are more concerned with low transaction fees and ease of use, than they are having actual stores of wealth, the XRP will reign because an IOU will be sufficient.

Bitcoin is like torrent. Money is like Napster. Do I have to hold your hand with these basic observations. Again, this is why I see you as being manipulative. Your ability to communicate and what you say are at two different levels. It is easy to dissect your purpose here. I'm just making it easier for others to see what you are.
What am I? Honest? Opinionated? In tune with the masses? "Oh no, everyone grab a rock and let the stoning begin."

Overall, you are one of the most negative and fearful posters on this board. I see nothing in the way of an open mind. So, I imagine all of this is a challenge to your reality set. It sounds like being correct is more important to you than helping life to continue here on Earth. Being right is more important than taking a chance and making a statement. Sitting there watching everyone dance while you remain in shackles must be tough. But it's never too late to get up. Maybe we can't dance well, but we are trying. We are going forward, with or without you.
Dream, take a chance, do what is right, get away from the darkness and fear.

No, I live in the real world. I understand the mainstream. Bitcoin diehards want mainstream appeal without catering to the mainstream. It makes no sense. Sorry. It's never going to happen. My only goal is to speak my opinions. Why my mere words continue to grip you with such fear, can only lead me to believe that you're afraid people will reject this cult pamphlet you have typed up. Well, diehards will never listen to me so you're ok there. They are ideological, just like you. They can't hear anything outside of the "cult code". You have the right to your opinion and I respect that. I just disagree....as does the majority of the mainstream. And this is all just another reason, mainstream remains turned off.

on the image issue, I think you are right to a degree, but images can change very quickly. Also if you look at fiat money for a minute, do people not use money because it's "got an image problem"? Because people use it to buy drugs?

If the only notable players in the fiat economy were drug dealers, currency speculators, and exchanges offering to convert fiat into the kind of money people use to buy ... food & shelter, then yeah, people would be pretty ashamed to use fiat.
