B"H - The real criminals in my book are the Central Banks that are out to "protect" me and provide "legal tender" money supply as debt to the commercial banks, which in their turn fractional lend. There is no wonder people want to escape this mother of all Ponzi schemes.

Government bodies will try to do everything to hamper the spread of cryptocurrency but the momentum is already too big. Cryptocurrency is here to stay. Whether it will be Bitcoin in its current form is up for debate as there are major flaws in the transaction protocol with bogus transaction IDs.

All of the negative things they point out about bitcoins are there with cash, credit, gold and silver.... Its not like organized crime, terrorism or tax fraud will go away if digital currency gets outlawed. I think banks are getting very nervous. They should adapt and provide bitcoin storage for people if they want to stay in the game and not halt progress.
