I know nothing about Bitcoin (in fact I am still trying to work out how letters appear on the screen when I bang the keys – I have had a look at this box at is nothing like my old typewriter), but I do know enough about the American government to know it is insane to base a money website there (a pure speech website perhaps – but not a financial one).
That is not an argument against Bitcoin – as it would also be insane to base a private mint for old style coins in the United States (or to have physical gold or silver in storage in the United States).
Surely a person with advanced computer skills is fairly mobile – and does not have to base him or herself in the United States or in an country (such as Britain) where people tend to get sent to the American authorities when a request is made for them.
