gigavps: ThickAsThieves, i don't
think btc would be made illegal
pigeons: its a public ledger,
they can manage
taxes etc as you say
pigeons: they can do it with
this one
ThickAsThieves: that would put laws regarding crypto currencies on
the book, and
then
they could illegalize btc
ThickAsThieves: if
they had
their own coin (us gov)
they could strictly manage
taxes, etc
ThickAsThieves: then
they can keep control be sheer popularity over btc
Chaang-Noi: i would have said
they could not do much about gambling in other countires as well but....
ThickAsThieves: and
then each country uses
their own cryptocurrency or such
DeadWeasel: considering
their
tendency
to ignore real problems and go after non-issues makes me
think it will happen

they arent ignoring it,
the question is how will
they appraoch it all
Chaang-Noi: yeah i dont know... it will be intersting, i hope
the us govt ignores it, buit i bet
they wont forever
gigavps: ThickAsThieves, it doesn't matter, i bet we'll soon see interpretations of
the law such
that it won't matter what you are gambling
ThickAsThieves: it's all possible, i just
think
they will prioritize attacking other aspects of bitcoin
Chaang-Noi: you know
they will notice a site
that made over a million in its first year :/

gigavps: the US gov has gone after internet gambling businesses
the world over
Chaang-Noi: the person on
that flight was not american, was not going
to
the usa, and did not ahve a company in
the usa
Chaang-Noi: they ahve even redirected planes into
the usa
to arrest people
Chaang-Noi: the govt has gone hard core after people gambling in
the usa
ThickAsThieves: assumes
the gov cares more about gambling bitcoin,
than
those who exchange it for fiat
ThickAsThieves: that works on
the premise
that bitcoin is first classified as illegal
gigavps: maybe mircea_popescu should add
that
to his list of btc business starting
tips
gigavps: any business strategy
that does not include government compliance will end in failure

to jail

today was pretty nice
to see
Chaang-Noi: maybe he is just upset at bfl and is
taking it out on you? i jumped in when bfl was brought up...
Chaang-Noi: well, if he is going
to make an attack he should at least back it up if asked about it...
gigavps: i
think mircea_popescu isn't feeling well
today
mircea_popescu: dumbass needs

the other forum but not sure if i should pay
the 2.5 for
the other forum...

there
