Daithi - I like your analysis. Very thorough job.
One thing I would disagree with: "Bitcoin is like gold - only better." I'll take that awful, problematic gold any day, over Bitcoin. It's got thousands of years of history - Bitcoin's a bit newer.
One thing I agree strongly with: The US government could make Bitcoin illegal for its citizens at some point - like they did with Internet Poker etc.
Yep - they could. Say, they did that with GOLD once, too...when was that? 1933? Yeah - right when they repealed Prohibition.
Had to forbid something, I suppose.
