Quoting provides context to those who do not read the entire thread, so I will continue to do it.  I will, however, trim the material quoted to the minimum necessary in order to assuage your delicate sensibilities.

As for your continuing and pointless argument about whether or not the government's attack upon e-gold constituted a "fiasco" or not, we'll just have to agree to disagree and let it go.  Further debate on the subject will serve no purpose other than to let people know that you are a troll.

I followed the e-gold saga for some time (some people I know are/were in the digital metal currency market).

I would call it a fiasco for a number of reasons:

[...]

From what you are saying, it clearly looks like it was not fiasco. Government was simply more powerful and destroyed it.
It is not a fiasco of currency itself. If you have army big enough, You can destroy just any non-bulion centralized currency by simply invading the country which issues the currency.
