If Bitcoin is not directly threatening the fiat system, then it is a shitcoin.

I have no problem with Bitcoin going "mainstream". In fact, that is the whole damn point.

But I have a HUGE problem with NGU going mainstream, and fiat feeling zero pressure from Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's success is meaningless, if it doesn't result fiat's timely failure. Bitcoin hasn't gone "mainstream".... it appears to be doing nothing at all, and that's the problem.

"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks". <- This was supposed to be the goal, not whatever is happening in our culture now.
