The govt will never allow a currency that they have no control over.
"The govt"?
Which government is "the" government? Which jurisdiction?
I live in the USA so I'm referring the US federal govt. The only one that has the authority to issue currency in the US.
2 points on this thread. There are real traders from real exchanges. And some of them make money doing it, no doubt. Most will not. Those who do not will not admit it the the sample responses is always skewed.
The more the price the goes up, the more governments worldwide will take action. Some negatively, some positively. I tend to believe more negatively. But I also think it wont matter and XBT will become semi mainstream.
