And finally, how do you know that some billionare hasn't been buying gobs of bitcoin?
Billionaires have billions because bankers can cheat. Bitcoins end cheating. QED. Cheating billionaires hate people having bitcoins.
It took me just fifteen minutes of listening to Bill Gates on Charlie Rose to confirm that billionaires don't and won't like BItcoin.
Mr. Gates throws around a lot of "we did this" type of statements, and what he really means is "we used our power to get governments to do this". I'm not saying the accomplishments were bad, but anything that lessen's a billionaire's influence will not be something the billionaires will support.
