Money doesn't buy political influence though,
In my country it can buy a lot of things
including buying politicians, buying political influence, buying this ...buying that ...
Sure, it's like that in pretty much every country. But here's the thing:
If Bitcoin is as successful as everyone hopes it is, everyone will have a store of money that the
government cannot touch. They can't freeze it, they can't seize it, they can't tax it, they cant trace it.
Imagine what that will mean to governments.
The dishonest part that splurges favors on friends and cronies will already be in the take .......just that it will be far more difficult to prove that they took bribes !!! This will be parallel economy of un comparable ....un imaginable proportions
