I thought it interesting enough to post in this form vs. a blank link.  I only hope that more people read it this time around.

I think that tech can always outpace the state controls. However, once there is a settled way of doing the tech thing, it can start to be controlled, heavily.

As for the fighting stage of bitcoin, I think that will happen in *free markets* first then move out to everyday stuff. Once people decide that ACH is f'ed up, they will move quickly!

Sure we can coordinate like never before, and bitcoin is perhaps the best example of that, but I do wonder what the fighting stage of bitcoin looks like. Is it black market bitcoin? Is it using bitcoin to trade and ignoring whatever controls are placed on it? 

Do you think tech solutions will outpace government abilities to exert control over us or will it be more of a fight between people who want freedom and the governments that want to control them?
