I haven’t followed this closely, so excuse me if I’m repeating someone else’s comment.

One thing that worries me a bit is that bitcoins are  “mined” with computer power. Who in the world probably has the most available computer power? My guess would be the NSA. Are we in danger of making the NSA financially independent of Congress? It looks like the CIA and drugs, and Iran-Contra in spades.
