Soon, it will be in the hands of those who control such things and it's anonymity will be gone. Mark my words. :(The government doesn't possess that power, fortunately. They're able to freeze USD accounts, perform warrantless searches and wiretaps, assassinate American citizens (technically a citizen) on foreign soil without trial, ship off suspected terrorists to a legally neutral locale where they're held essentially without rights or due process of any sort indefinitely, take everything we own at will, kick our dogs, skin our cats, pillage our women and rape our fields -- and fuck us over in just about every other semi-conceivable way they can come up with.But, they do not possess the power to take or freeze the bitcoins in your wallet. They possess plenty of power to get you to GIVE them up... but it's difficult to control what you can't even access without the owner's assistance.
