I wonder how much our bitcoin will be worth against mainstream $ ? You know the stuff that you use to buy food with as well as make a living.
How much is a govcoin going to be worth when Bitcoin is stripped of all the basic fundamentals and reason for existence.
From a tactical perspective I empathize with those feeling squeamish about poking the large psychopathic bear. Anarchists like Amir and Cody are trying to make people think and stir up some interest and controversy to support alternative implementations and development of Bitcoin like Libbitcoin. Bitcoin has much to gain from a more robust community and diversity of implementations. This will ultimately strengthen bitcoin and insure that it grows in value.
Gavin praised the dark wallet and supports other implementations of Bitcoin:
