I don't want to block the coins, I want to watch the US government make the terrible mistake of trading precious BTC for worthless fiat this early in the fiat->crypto transition, so we can all later laugh at them for their folly.
I want the clever folks who buy these coins to make out like bandits at the FBI's expense. This will be a "stupid government" joke for the rest of history.
I wonder which one of these:
Top Ten Economic Mistakes of Historywill be replaced with:
In 2014, the former government of the USA sold almost 3 trillion satoshis for less value than a single ton of gold. By the year 2100, their value exceeded the value of all mined gold in the entire planet.
Sidenote: In the year 2100, the fiat currency earned from the sale of those bitcoins wouldn't even buy a pizza!
You nailed it. And I'd say this will all be true LONG before 2100. Perhaps as early as 2030.
I'd also say the disastrous modern war on drugs will have earned a place on that moronic policy list, for the people of the future, although I suppose that's more a legal blunder than an economic one.
It's a shame that beheading of terrible lawmakers has gone out of style. It would be so cathartic for repressed Americans. Perhaps when our house of cards economy implodes that will change, there's always hope.
