But how does one effectively bar a police state? ?  Especially one that is gathering momentum?  The sheeple seem to be in love with it.  



sorry about that, it's a figure of speech I guess.

what I meant to say was "unless society crumbles and we allow a 1984 styles police-state apocalypse, I think the adoption of bitcoin for governments is inevitable."



    Nothing to apologize for.  I was being a little facetious, but it is a valid point that the likelihood of this shit is stronger than merely non-zero.  How do you hedge that, besides planning to be somewhere else?   Bitcoin is likely good for that, but gold may be required to grease the wheels on the journey.  Always have some gold  Shocked
 
Which is more likely :  Western Governments adopting bitcoin, or terrorizing their subjects to the point of violent revolt?  I'm pretty sure I know which path they are progressing thus far.  That doesn't make bitcoin any less valuable, but it might raise the perceived value of PMs.

Wake me when BTC get over $700.

Out.
