“What they’re really trying to do is send a clear message– if you use Bitcoin, there will be consequences. This isn’t even really about Bitcoin. The big picture issue is that governments are scared to death of currency alternatives catching fire. With so much debt and monetary stress in the global economy, it’s becoming increasingly clear by the day that the current fiat experiment is in serious trouble. The only reason it still works is because (a) people continue to have confidence in the system, and (b) there really is no mainstream alternative to holding paper currency. This last fact is paramount.”
