Some of you are missing my point, or I didn't explain it well.  IPv6 will make it MUCH easier to firewall based on location.  Yes, I know you can get geographical info of current IPv4 addresses now, but I'm saying with v6, it will be easier.  And like I also stated in my post, you will still be able to use VPN's/proxies/tunnels/tor to get around it.  My point was simply that the majority of people don't use vpn's or the like 24/7, including myself, even though I do have a really good VPN service which I pay for.  But I mostly use it for downloads, accessing one of my bank accounds, and watching HULU shows since it's blocked in Germany  Grin

My guess is the whole controversy about bitcoin being an "evil hacker's currency to buy drugs" together with national economies around the world becoming more unstable and likely getting worse in the future, is only going to get the attention of governments, bad attention.  And I'm sure there will be governments that will try to put a stop to crypto currency.  Keyword being "try".

Just have a look at Paypal.  They already made it clear that they want nothing to do with the currency right off the bat.
