This anti-government stance only harms Bitcoins. The community needs to decide whether it want's to be a black market currency with limited notability, or a widely excepted medium with strong support and real growth.

I'm in the business of advocating personal freedom and open markets (but that's redundant Wink

). If such is adversarial to your preferred overlords then so be it.

An anti-government stance doesn't harm Bitcoin. Bitcoin is, in and of itself, an anti-government stance. It is a currency alternative to the US Dollar - and given the fact that the Federal Government has dismayed it's own binding document (Constitution) both in fact and in principle, by raping any semblance of sound money, one could argue that it is in fact the US Gov which has committed the great treason against the United States of America, and that Bitcoin is in fact one of our best opportunities to be patriots - in the proper sense of the word.
