And it is fear and lack of knowledge for the protocol that is what causes most of the FUD.

I disagree. This is the group that Runs The World. Central banking is perhaps the sharpest tool they have used to amass the power they now have. They know this. Any diminution of the dominance of fiat currency is a very real reduction in their power. While evil, they are not stupid. Bitcoin (or more properly cryptocurrencies in general) is a very real threat to their hegemony, power, and lifestyles.

This

The more you are close to central banks, the more you have to loose from bitcoin and vise versa.

Khadafi and others, were about to start The African Union with the gold backed Dinar and the currency.

We all know what happened to him.

Ha, true, but Gavin is hardly an authoritative Dictator here. They could put pressure on gavin, but regardless that's not gonna stop Bitcoin. I think it's a long way off before Bitcoin becomes a threat to them any way, but obviously they see the threat.

The public interview was not the important part of the conversation. I for one would welcome Gavin's field report.

You'll be waiting on that one for a while. He starts these news threads then hardly ever returns to them. The only ones that warrant a second look are the ones where he's being attacked. I doubt he really looked at those twice. Most likely someone told him, "hey dude, LukeJr is talking shit about you in your thread" so he responded.

He's probably pretty busy / got better things to do, but it's nice that he actually stops by to keep the community updated.
