Bitcoin needs an exchange unregulated by the laws of government.
That would really piss them off and it would be beautiful.
BTC is about freedom and no government control(over the currency at least),
exchanges are not.
Using government currency to buy BTC then sell for government currency,
not what BTC was designed for.
The average citizen does not care whether or not their monetary supply is controlled by the government; the average person will at most only think about how easily they can move it, save it, spend it and what they can buy with it.
ATMs/Exchanges are junk... I want a BTC supermarket where I can buy my food/electronics with BTC, screw the governments money.
Also I want a part time job at said supermarket where I receive my paycheck in BTC.
Also How about some farmers/butchers who sell their produce to the supermarket for BTC?
The quote Nicholas Cage in Lord of War, "This is small f-ing potatoes."
What about paying for your rent in Bitcoin? What about paying for your monthly insurance premium in Bitcoin? What about paying for large medical expenses in Bitcoin? What about saving for your child's college education and paying it in Bitcoin?
