The only difference between Bitcoins and Swagbucks or any other Ticket/Credit system is that Bitcoins are POPULAR. When things get popular then greedy folks want to put their hands in and control it. Bitcoins = Barter and as of right now that is legal. If Bitcoins were outlawed then you could just write a ".01" on a piece of paper and hand it to the person.

Yes, this. I think too many people are getting wrapped around the popularity of bitcoin and suddenly thinking it's something more than a virtual currency--with emphasis on virtual.
