Well the US is seeking to make bitcoins and every other cryptographic currency illegal. Apparently lawmakers believe an international currency controlled by the UN would be better then a world wide people controlled form of money.

Spoiler alert: it is.

I'd rather have a UN controlled currency instead of one that can be fucking crashed by the whims of bored hackers.

Not only just being messed with by hackers but by "script kiddies" as well with software and hardware (ironically widely available for purchase with bitcoins) mining. I thought it would be an interesting experiment to buy such a device to see how long it would take to mine successfully but I had better things to do with my real currency.
