Is stealing from theives really a crime? There have been major crackdowns on Bitcoin by the central banks, why can't there be a crackdown on central banks by Bitcoin?

You aren't just stealing from banks, many of which don't know any better, you are stealing from depositors and anyone who has a vested interest in a bank. Not to mention I reject the concept that all banks are evil, my quarrel is mainly with the Fed.

You didn't say central banks either, you said "banks."

If Bitcoin became nothing but a system to use for theft, I would not use it, and neither would many other people. That's how you let the Fed win.

EDIT: I don't agree with breaking FBI passwords either, and regardless of if you agree with the government (which I don't) the many reasons why should be obvious.

This thread is entirely baseless, Bitcoin is very well thought out, and using it to steal money will not make it better.

Not necessarily for stealing money or cracking FBI passwords, I was half kidding when writing that. More of a way of giving something back instead of burning cycles for no reason, I understand that manufacturing dollars is probably an even bigger waste of energy but we should aim to be better than dollars, not worse.
