And so now all of you have mixed your funds with drug dealers and all sorts of other illegal activity.
There's a high probability that the $100 dollar bill in my wallet and maybe even some of the $20's have traces of cocaine on them (based on research that's been done). So I'm fairly sure that my fiat funds are mixed in with all kinds of illegal activity, so how does that make BTC any different?
Because the government can decide who it wants to target (first) and who it does not (or will target much later).
Remember how it works as socialism crashes. The masses are boiling frogs.
This quote from the decline of Germany into the abyss is on point:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.
Also the government can offer digital currency to the masses, so they will be protected from cash. Fits right in with the plans to eliminate cash, so they can tax and track everything in the new world order.
See Bitcoin was the designed under the government model of, "problem, reaction, solution". Bitcoin will be seen as somewhat interesting idea but a huge problem in terms of fraud, lack of consumer protection, inconvenience, tax compliance, etc, and then the government and the big banks (of which Buffet owns a couple) will offer digital currency which solves the problems.
To those people who think Satoshi wasn't a task force from the Fourth branch of government, you are not rational.
Satoshi wrote that he expected Bitcoin to be taken over by ASICs, he expected mining would become centralized by large capital, he chose the 10 minute transaction window, etc.. This task force knew very well what they were designing and why.
