Building bridges between the government and existing financial systems absolutely does create a more viable currency. You SHOULD care if governments accept bitcoins or not because that will have a direct impact on their value and longevity as a storage of wealth.

Bitcoin was not ment to be a storage of wealth. Only complete idiot would consider something that requires fucking network of computers,
man made shits that can't survive flood, EMP and so many other real world threats, and require electricity to even run, as solid foundation.
The idea behind Bitcoin was to buy or mine coins and send them to anyone without some 3rd party being able to prevent you in doing so.
Bitcoin is about machine controled supply of coins. It is about keeping a decent level of privacy when doing something with your money.

It is retards like you, people blinded by opportunity to become rich quick, that are fine with government involvement or whatever. Fuck off!

I'm sorry for whatever I said that directed such a torrent of hateful assumptions towards me. You must have really been hurt by people that invaded your privacy or took something that was important to you. I feel your pain, as its happened to me too. I assure you that I'm merely a pragmatist with no "significant" mental deficiencies that I'm aware of.

I WILL be honest with you though...Getting rich quick does sound nice. Getting rich slow would be fine too, am I right?

Being fine with government involvement is quite different than acknowledging that government involvement is inevitable. We, the torch bearers for this new form of currency, have a choice at the current state of things. We can either:

1.) Play with our toys in the corner with big brother secretly looking over our shoulders with "dark intentions", or we can

2.) Shake hands with the "enemy" out in the open and create cooperation between bitcoin supporters and goverment entities on mutually beneficial terms.

I'm simply in favor of the latter, and I don't mind if you disagree with me.
