Brilliant idea you are proposing! Really!
And I bet people would get highly involved in a currency owned and run by the US government! Especially the Chinese are very eager to support the US! And everybody here in Europe changes his Euros into Dollars already, because they have so much trust in the US!
I already addressed that in my original post. Did you read it? This would be a U.S. backed currency, just like dollars are. The Chinese would have their own such digital currency. EU countries could do the same. I realize that this doesn't satisfy the same 'it's the same currency for everyone' strategy that Bitcoin does but ... Bitcoin will still exist! You could still use that for your global currency if you want!
(You know that there is nothing "unfair" with early adopting, right? You get rewards in life for seeing good ideas and for taking risks. If Satoshi is a billionaire, he deserves every cent. And don't be mad, there is still enough for everybody, even for you..)
And you do realize that all of those early Bitcoin adopters could cash out *right now* and make their profit, which I believe they should be quite happy to get. Also many of those early adopters built up mining capacity, and will still be rewarded when that capacity can be used to mine coins officially accepted as legal virtual tender by the U.S. government.
I know, I know don't feed the troll...
There is absolutely nothing in any of my posts that deserves this comment. I am not a troll, I have pretty clearly come here with a reasonable idea that I am asking for reasonable discussion about.
