Financial freedom has always been a political issue.

But the game has changed - the question has been chrystalised. And unless the answer can be sufficiently succinct then the argument will be lost.

Only need a few 'bad apples' (ie. govt.s with more to gain from BTC (and the financial emancipation of its citizens) than they have to lose) and the whole house of cards could well come crashing down.

US is looking good to me. China is moving towards dumping USD as reserve currency + US has a long ideological history of freedom of individual etc.

But more likely it will take route, on a national scale, in smaller countries first and foremost.

Having said that, Japan is looking good too.
