@all

you must also remember that:

Competing altcoins have never tried the tactic of fiat injection as incentive to switch.

No competing altcoin has ever had the power to say all other competing coins are black market, but our altcoin is governent backed.

I can see how this is unsavoury, it is to me also. But to deny the advantage that government has is rather a narrow minded attitude.

Remember not every head on the planet is as libertarian as our good selves.
