If people would stop calling bitcoin a currency and market it as a protocol, a technology, we wouldn't have had all these bans. Governments freak out when they hear the word currency.
So so true. People really need to start describing bitcoin as a
payment protocol. Then the idiots would leave us alone, as that would be "too technical" for them. Describe it as a currency and they think "tax" and "regulation" and "sounds financial - who do we go to for our backhanders?"
