Re: Iran discovers Bitcoin

I worry also that this story brings attention to Bitcoin as a 'sanction buster'... when it's barely got off the ground as such and is more easily squashed.

If you want bitcoin to survive in the long term, if you like bitcoin, don't go waving it around as the currency of Iran, or the Taliban, or anything of the sort.

Or, to quote Satoshi during the Wikileaks/Manning furor, No, don't "bring it on".

What exactly are you going to do about it ?

Dude, at least show some respect towards a hard-working dev by taking his concern seriously.

I'm thinking he might have a point. I'm still on the "bring it on"-side, but we shouldn't just dismiss his valid concerns by telling him to shove it, especially when he's one of the few people actually progressing bitcoin.
