That way, the project can grow.<br/><br/>Everything is a compromise...<br/><br/></div><br/>Problem is... It would attract 9 world governments, along with their Intelligence Services (thier CIA's), trying to shut down Bitcoin.... for every one new crypto coder supporter.<br/><br/>Let's achieve this result through POSITIVE publicity.... not NEGATIVE publicity.<br/><br/>Do we want Bitcoin to be known forever in slang as, "Wilileaks Money"? No.<br/><br/>Let's get Whole Foods, and McDonalds, and Startbucks, and Cocacola vending machines.... to accept Bitcoin.<br/><br/>In fact, the BEST POSITIVE publicity is not even businesses.... It is famous charities!<br/><br/>Red Cross, UNICEF, United Way, etc. Would you rather Bitcoin be known as "wikileaks money".... or "the money large charites use for donations"....?<br/><br/>Think of all these ideas from a PR perspective. Bitcoin needs SUPPORTERS. It needs to make no enemies.... not yet. It's too weak to take on enemies right now.<br/></div> text/html
