Quote from: paxpax on May 23, 2013, 06:37 pmBTC needs to redefine itself as a commodity over a currency. If the gov succeeds in destroying BTC there is no less than a dozen others waiting to take the throne. The instability caused in digital currencies would be disastrous.My issue with turning bitcoins into a commodity is levied taxes and trading restrictions. Fair enough they'd be hard as hell to implement but it's still a factor. On the other hand, monetary instruments isn't even a good category for it since they too can be very heavily regulated.
