Even the US government does hold a fine contribution of Bitcoins, they have seized millions of dollars worth bitcoins which generally goes in auctions or stays with the government.
Do you actually have a link for this?
I've never heard of the US government ever storing bitcoins, all those that are confiscated go through auctions with the USMS.
Because they're old and they are still stuck in 60s where they're still young and they still don't feel any ache in their joints and that they came from a generation that think that they're the best generation and that they believe that we've peaked and they don't like new technology as they deem it blasphemous to their beliefs. I think that's the only reason for why the US senators heavily oppose bitcoin, other than being lobbied by banks.
Just a heads up, Gavin was born in 66 and Finney in 56
Anyhow, it would be weirder not to have anyone against it, then it would definitely mean something suspicious is happening.
Normally people can't agree to compete on everything, even if we talk about husband and wife (incoming flying frying pan if somebody reads this)
so it's pretty normal to have different opinions on the economy, currency, and everything else.
