The claim that they are investigating Bitcoin because it could be used by terrorists to finance an attack instead of corporate interests is the equivalent of me violating your privacy and spying on you 24/7 to check for the boogeyman under your bed. ...

I am with you bro! Right after 9/11 I knew that soon the term terrorist will be used for everything. Especially as a pretext, kinda like they use "kiddy porn" to scare people into giving up rights. But there are people who think like us in the CIA also. And they want to have some knowledge of bitcoin because, although rare, it may be used by an actual terror group. If that happens the CIA wants to be ahead of the curve and know what they are dealing with.
It is even conceivable that the CIA might use it themselves. A system that can be used to send money anonymously around the world is certainly going to be explored by all the world's covert services.

Basically what you are saying is that although I'm right it still shouldn't prevent the corporate owned government from planting propaganda seeds in the cryptosoil in advance?

Sorry but my english is a little bit rusty. Are you implying that everything above bitcoind 0.7 is not trustworthy?

That's exactly what the bitch is saying...
