If no one is pro-Bitcoin then no one is worth mentioning. In my book, if a politician is not aware on Bitcoin and doesn't understand the importance of it in the next decades, he isn't just ready to deal with an entire country economy wise. If you aren't at the forefront of technological and economic development you are wasting my time. They are just corporate puppets in my opinion.

Hey, you don't want US Politicians to take a serious interest in Bitcoin...they'd fuck it up so fast. Seriously. Politicians need to keep their do-anything-for-the-vote intentions as far away as possible from this good thing called Bitcoin.

+1

Yup, + 1

Yup, + 1 again.

I think that is exactly what would happen, all kinds of abuse potential out there re a cryptocurrency and politicians. Maybe as the Bitcoin Ecosystem get stronger, it will become more resistant to political tampering.

There is still a major BTC weakness: cashing it in for goods or fiat. Still, were BTC to become really big, maybe that problem would solve itself. But, if BTC becomes really BIG, then that would attract the interest of politicians...
