its a very bad thing that bitcoin is subject to government control. very quickly it will be used to tax and arm in order to .. tax and arm and its potential to break that loop will be lost.
- sliverstorm 13y agoHow the hell does DEA seizure of bitcoins = government control of bitcoin?
- bit_cromwell 13y agoIts very simple, if I can take your money without your consent I control it.
- sliverstorm 13y agoI'm sorry, but that's bullshit. Control and being able to confiscate are hardly the same thing.
- noarchy 13y agoBecause if I can take from you without consequence, then that amounts to a great level of control. Normally if I take something of yours without your consent, I am a thief. If I do it at gunpoint, I'm an armed robber. Take away the veneer of legitimacy that many would grant to the DEA, and it, too, becomes a thief and/or armed robber.
