Liberty Dollar != Bitcoin

Bernard von NotHaus was arrested because he was stupid, not because he was libertarian.

He was arrested because he was running an alternative currency that was starting to take hold. Nothing else.

He was trying to get people to pass off his currency as US currency to unknowing and unwilling victims.

This is not true. This is what the USA government accused him of. But just check the 5 dollar notes and tell me they can be confused:



And why would he want to pass something more expensive for something cheaper? It would be stupid. It was just an excuse by the USA government.
