After reading about what happened to Bernard von NotHaus, I think the government is going to label all libertarian minded people "global anarchist terrorists bent on sending the world into chaos"
Gavin Andreson will be rounded up, tortured in some 3rd world country and will end up in Gitmo. Whether he's libertarian or not will not matter, clearly he's responsible. Satoshi will move to the federal government's no.1 most wanted and ten years after that they'll kill some poor Japanese American IT professional and proclaim "victory!".
Give me any reason these socio-paths we've elected won't do this as they worsen everyone's economic situation?
Seems like this thread is a better fit for the
Politics & Society forum. Perhaps I'm missing something. Does anyone have a good reason for why this should be in the Economics forum?
