I agree, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

Python is all very amusing but if you quote it at least try and make it appropriate to the situation.

Bitcoin is exactly the mandate from the masses that Dennis would have approved of. The central banks of the world are the moistened bints lobbing scimitars around the place. They exploit the workers by hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

What do implementation languages have to do with this? I imagine Ruby or even C would have similar issues when attempting to grow to web-scale workloads, even on non-Fiat currency.

Isn't there some corollary to Godwin's law that you can't invoke it on purpose?

OK, I'm coming around to the idea that buying bitcoins might be safer than putting your money into a Cypriot bank

Buying beer, drinking beer, and keeping the bottles for the deposit value would be a better investment than putting your money into a Cypriot bank.

Cyprus will be begging Africa to put on an aid concert for them the way they are going.

Buh Bye Bitcoin.

Security thru obscurity is a myth - and really really annoying.

'mandatory reporting for transactions of more than $10,000' is something that happens all over the world. It hasn't killed conventional bank transfers yet or even the dodgy services like western union.

BitCoin isn't even the first digital currency, it's just the first that got big enough for the US gobberment to care about. Linden dollars have been convertible to cash for a very long time.

If the US government want to fight the criminality behind the drugs trade that's good for the world, but I think they might better do that by making some drugs legally obtainable. Right now Americans can legally buy tools of mass murder but they can't buy weed, I can't be the only one who thinks that is messed up.

weed is legal in a few usa states.

in the USA, you get 2 years for rape, and 3 years for accessing a public website of a phone company, not hack mind you, just opening urls that are publicly available.

since bitcoins can be anonymous, hard to trace, easily washed, and can be exchanged worldwide, i doubt the criminals will care about some law in the USA.
