What you don’t seem to get is that I don’t gamble on the price, and don’t ever plan to sell. It’s putting and end to the endless, while having full transparency aka dark to light. Do the game theory and realize that if the government were forced to use this for taxes, they could never steal or launder your money, ever.

Also, do the game theory and realize that you can do a fully auditable election on the bitcoin blockchain, while no voter has to leave their house. Give each politician an address, and each voter a small amount of bitcoin for them to vote with. There are ways to verify it and make sure it’s not tied to your name, and yet, since you own the wallet, you would be able to audit your vote and anyone else’s who would let you.
