What if the US govt introduced their own crypto currency and provided tax incentives for adopting it. I could see all the major online retailers instantly accepting it.

Maybe fedgov is keeping a close eye on the bitcoin experiment and taking notes

What could a gov digital currency do that we can't do electronically now with the dollar?

That has been my biggest at wiki. Every time he posts his list of btc advantages, I destroy him with facts how there are already more efficient systems in place which out perform any btc system in place.

And I've learned over this past week his whole "btc is free or low cost" schtick is BS. The btc message boards are constantly complaining about how much it costs to use the exchanges & the wallets and how some merchants rip them off with hidden fees.

Good idea, but let's table that for a few years...


The thought of ObamaCoin haunting us forever is something I couldn't stomach.
