You're the first person I've seen who has mentioned assassination politics (which is one of the big reasons why states are likely to resist Bitcoin). It's impressive the degree to which so many don't get the radical potential of the world's first viable anonymous decentralized currency.


To tell you the truth I was a little apprehensive of actually writing that. Standard disclaimer applies and whatnot. And by standard disclaimer I mean I gave it as an example of something to actually be afraid of, not something that I find exhilerating.


For sure (especially considering what happened to Jim Bell for writing about the idea).
