governments CANNOT regulate bitcoin unless we allow it

Yes, and you can see in this thread the people who will allow it. Because it's "inevitable". Because they want to comply with the government. Because they are scared. Because they put greed over principle.

Frankly, I don't care about what the people do with bitcoin v.0.8. They almost certainly will turn it into Govtcoin. But the genie is out of the bottle. The true bitcoin is in our very immediate future, and it will UTTERLY DESTROY states around the world.

Maybe a better idea (than destroying states) is to regain influence in the law making process.

Uh, no, why should the people next door to me have power to make laws that infringe my rights to life, liberty, or property?
