@[email protected] By no means am I saying Bitcoin or its community is perfect, but your toots seem to have a very binary view of the world. Bitcoin is providing a service, a very important one at that, and replacing one of the core features of national currency (and even if I personally feel that it shouldn't be, who am I to overrule markets), namely, the trust in its value. So yes, how dare bitcoin replace traditional state actors when the latter fail...
