US Government making a move on Bitcoin is inevitable. The telegraphing thereof has already begun. Bitcoin has to survive the tribulation if it wants global adoption. If it doesn't survive, it'll fall into obscurity or be marginalized.
Sadly, I belive this too. Bitcoin have to survive this and become accepted by the common man and the governments . Otherwise all you can do with it is buy weed. Iwant to be able to buy a car with my coins someday.
