Thanks Vlad2Vlad!
Unfortunately I'm the poor type, so I can't afford even a few ixcoins let alone much Bitcoin (maybe if a few people spend a little BTC on my links in my sig, especially coingen, the site isn't run the best but it really works!) I came into this about 1 yr to late. I was one of the first people in the US to own a GTX690 which will hash at ~350 MH/s. I wish I had known about Bitcoin when I first got my card because it would have been a fairly respectable amount of hashing power at the time.
I am sure that there are those who will try to stop Bitcoin, but like I said, they will ultimately fail. We just have to be willing to endure the dark ages when (if) they come and take action when needed.
