so where's Satoshi in all this? Isnt he the creator?  The mastermind? .. so a buncha white-collar techie sell-outs co-opt this thing without even comprehending the spirit of it all?  Just because it's peer to peer doesnt mean it has to be EVIL.... we can take it upon ourselves to know who we're doing business with and report the drug dealers ourselves.

If the people behind this dont have any kind of idealism or ethics this thing is just gonna turn into another fee-based thing which will charge 0.001% less than the banks (until theres a 'meeting' with the bank which will oddly result in fees being identical or just an outright sale to said bank)

Fine.. I understand.. your scared of the big bad all-powerful government.  But why surrender before the fight has even begun?  If they reall wanna go down bashing in doors and arresting pasty-faced geeks at their computers then throw in the towel but dont just hand it to em on a silver platter.
