re: Bitstamp Halts Withdrawls

Our conversation spanned many areas, like how consumers will protect themselves from fraud, and what sort of illegal activities could individuals carry out in the Bitcoin system. I could go into detail about that part of the conversation, but for the most part I wanted to share what messages I hope I conveyed in the conversation.

In other words, Vance Crowe doesn't want to drown out his sunshine pumping message with real concerns expressed by the evil central bankers. Wonderful propaganda about what one guy predicts for the future. We are supposed to accept his predictions as gospel, but disregard the predictions of those who are not so sanguine about Bitcoins. Why are his 4 predictions any more valid than LSURussian's predictions of doom and gloom?

And you are a fool if you think ignoring political aspects is realistic where money is involved. Until there is no such thing as private property, and the need for rules to protect the rights of property owners, there will be politics involved with money which is a form of property. Do you really think there is no politicking going on among those who control the Bitcoin mining operations and Bitcoin software developers?
