Clearly you have never dealt with a government.

You are hedging your entire startup on the government not getting involved and freezing your accounts, by the way. Smart move! (Clever promotion, might I add, especially with that little footer.)

Bitcoin accounts can't be frozen. Do you understand how bitcoin works?

USD accounts can, and his startup will need those to operate and pay salaries. Apply a miniscule amount of logic instead of considering me an outright moron.

If you read my original post (good to see you didn't!), I mined Bitcoins for a while. How do you feel about that? I participated in the community you are defending and grasp its potential. Your binary "everyone who speaks out against Bitcoin has clearly never used it and doesn't know what he's talking about" attitude is hilariously stupid.

Actually I went to West Point and served in the Army, so I've dealt with the government. Bitcoins would not likely be a big, significant part of any income anyway.

I would recommend taking a look at the pyramid again.
