if it comes down to the wire, between the governments killing bitcoin and you giving your life to save it, would you?
Not for bitcoin, but I'd fight for the freedom to use stuff like bitcoin.
Bitcoin is just the first great application of cryptography+P2P and it's hardly used yet. Decentralized money is just the first step to a decentralized goverment. Stuff like bitcoin will give us, the people, back the -cracy in democracy. (lat. dêmos=people;kratos=power).
