There is a clear conflict of interest here.  Should this be allowed?

SHA-2 was developed by the NSA
TOR was created by the NRL, a branch of the US Navy!
I don't see anyone criticizing their usage in both bitcoin and when used to protect your privacy.

So, what conflict of interest you're talking about here?

To start, Banks and governments will fight to prevent its use as a currency or they will co-opt it to more completely control the movement of money.

Yeah, and how is that working?
Cause I see governments legalizing's Bitcoin everywhere but when I ask bitcoiners if they want to use it as a currency 99% of the responses are "My previous, why spend it, it can be 10000% after the halving, it's stupid to spend this investment, my precious, give it to me".  Grin
