I know it dismays a lot of hardcore crypto-anarchists on this forum, but I am a happy, law abiding, tax paying US citizen Smiley  And I think bitcoin's best path to success will be to work within existing government regulations.

The vast majority of businesses we want accepting bitcoins are law-abiding businesses, as are the vast majority of people in the world.

If you believe that bitcoin is monetary freedom, as I do, then you don't want to self-select yourself away from the law-abiding world.  I want to spread bitcoin to as many people as possible... not "as many crypto-anarchists as possible"  Smiley


the problem rises when they change the law, or decides interpreted it in another way.
i would also be a tax paying citizen if i earnd something, but im not earning anything, im in school.
