A typical response from a fool.

Bitcoin is potentially illegal by design. It has no implementations of comodity holder identification. Soon or far - it will be declared as illegal, terroristic and breaking the "US democracy". I will not surprise if US Gov will blame Satoshi with implication in 9/11 terroristic acts ))

And so what if it is 'declared' illegal? Who is going to declare this? By doing so, they are admitting their fear of bitcoin and it will only strengthen the cause. By making it illegal, they are reinforcing the ideals that drove the creation of the technology in the first place.

They tried to 'declare' alcohol illegal in the US at the start of the 20th century and look how that turned out. People who want to use it will continue to do so, legal or illegal. How can they be prevented from doing so? It is a decentralized system with no single point of failure. They cannot put you in jail or bring you to court for running a program on your PC or owning a virtual commodity that does not even exist in the tangible world of property. They might shut down an exchange or two, but new (more anonymous or else legally compliant) ones will arise.

Bitcoin is a deeply subversive technology, and the banks and governments know it. Nobody wants to broach the issue because they know they would appear powerless to do anything about it, while just giving bitcoin more attention. The elites fear bitcoin because it has the potential to take their power away and there is not a jot they can do but throw tantrums.

As for 'breaking the US democracy'... ummm, huh? What the hell are you talking about you moron? Assuming what I think you mean (and it's a BIG assumption, because its nonsense) - declaring a technology that is accepted as revolutionary by many people as illegal would be far more opposed to the ideas of democracy, don't you think? That was obviously a rhetorical, because I know you don't do much of that. Democracy in the USA is an illusion anyway - it is a plutocracy veiled behind a puppet show democracy.

I don't know why I am even bothering to respond to a post that is so far off the stupid scale that it could have been written by an amoebae.
