Exactly.
- freshhawk 14y agoThat's it's best defense sure, but there are other approaches that will be tried. It could quickly be illegal to accept bitcoins or exchange them or perhaps to convert them to dollars or vice versa. They hit liberty dollars with counterfeiting, wire fraud, mail fraud and all sorts of barely-applicable charges. Bitcoin will always survive internationally but it can pretty easily be blocked from being a useful factor in this issue in the US. Historical precedent tells me that's extraordinarily likely. Hopefully I'm just too cynical.
