    The creators should step forward and make their intentions known, anything else leads you to believe otherwise.

    Or at least have something representing them, then if they did get cut down (by those entities that they were opposed to) there would be even more move towards the cause.
    That also applies to the banking system you appear to be defending. The author of the BTC has made his intentions know. Read the damn papers he/she/they published http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

    So you don't look like a fool spouting non-sense about a system, protocol, or currency you simply do not know, don't want to know and just dismiss as a slight. To each their own, no one is forcing you to read, respond or remark in this forum. But all I see is back in forth between you, Blink, and a couple others. Looking completely foolish because you have no understanding of how a P2P system works. You act like governments or banks can just flip a switch and shut it down. THEY CAN'T!!
    You act like they are all powerful THEY ARE NOT!
    You act like they are all knowing THEY ARE NOT!
    Don't you think they would of shut down bit-torrent networks by now? Silk Road, up and running for 3+ years now, not so much as a raid on the site by any authorities in any country. If you know how to mask your IP, you can appear anywhere in the world. Bitcoin is a currency developed to meet the needs of people who want to transact business without having their government or bank involved in the process. I thought that's why we were all here is it not?
    So a solution comes along, you and others like you dismiss it and throw some wild ass conspiracies with no proof, no thought, and no understanding of it's foundations.
