  My true colors were there from the beginning, if you cared to look[1]. No, ban bitcoin is a huge mistake IMHO. BTC is a great innovation and has extremely interesting features. I already mentioned transaction speed elsewhere. I believe that we need to wait and see if volatility stabilizes at some point. Then I'd like to see an easier way of conversion from currency-to-btc and back. That said I'd never put the faith of a country to BTC, but sure as hell I'd like to have it around and use it as I see fit (either as an asset or an investment). But relying grandma's pension on BTC? That's unethical to me (and stupid). [1] http://www.convalesco.org/blog/2014/02/11/on-the-matter-of-bitcoin/ http://www.convalesco.org/blog/2014/02/11/on-the-matter-of-b...

    >But relying grandma's pension on BTC? That's unethical to me (and stupid). Who has suggested investing pensions in Bitcoin? I've never heard anyone make a bona fide argument for this.
