I'm probably one of those "wacko nut-jobs out there" that you refer to, so you may just want to dismiss my point outright with ad hominem. However, I don't think any of us wacko nut-jobs would care about fed coin, as long as they don't go after competing coins. In fact, I welcome the competition. As long as it's free competition, may the better, less manipulable, coin(s) win.

Why competition? This isn’t a zero sum game.

It is. You either store value in dollars, euros, gold, real estate, art or bitcoin.

You can't "dobule spend" the same value.

[garmaine]

The market cap of bitcoin going up does not make the market cap of gold, usd, or real estate go down. Total aggregate wealth is not zero/fixed sum.
