bitcoin has gotta be great if you live in one of them shit countries where you can't trust your local currency or get ahold of precious metals. Freedom from corrupt government officials unless they kick down your door and shoot you, that is. :p North Korea, anyone?

Of course now there are many countries where Bitcoin is banned, but it may not be so cardinally that a person is shot near an ATM. And whether you have such things happen in North Korea, then I would not be surprised. Although there is information that some countries have introduced criminal liability for currency transactions with crypto currency.
