It is, in fact NOT an outrageous idea that the Bitcoin protocol evolves such elements in order to 'fight crime'.

What is crime?

It's hard to define, but 'I know it when I see it.' More importantly, my justice system does.

Who gets to define it?

My justice system (here in the U.S.) Duh! We are a democracy which (eventually) adheres to the will of the people, and we currently have the worlds dominant monetary system which pretty much proves that we are doing things better than anyone else. And if it does not, it doesn't matter anyway because that is how control of the solution will naturally fall once the protocol supports it...if not before. They don't call us 'the leaders of the free world' for nothing, and it is unarguable that 'you could do worse.'

Any suggestion that the U.S. central governmnet authorities are not the most well prepared to define crime is to silly to pay much attention to, and any suggestion that something could make this reality change in the future is some sort of a wild 'conspiracy theory.'

A lot of people, including myself, consider Bitcoins neutrality to be a fundamental part of the protocol.

Something tells me that that will be the case with you until it isn't.
