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.
Give me a break dude. Your American I guess? Cant blame you the propaganda is strong there

Meh. They already failed trying to jail people for pirating music/movies and at least they had a valid reason there (copyright). I wonder how they can crack down bitcoin holders... Are they sending people to jail with rapists for owning a handful of bits? No wonder china is not banning bitcoin, its a legal headache
