They don't need that much money to do what they do.<br/>2. What they could potentially get via bitcoin at the moment wouldn't be a drop in the bucket of what they're receiving via other private means.<br/>3. Nothing wikileaks is doing is WORTH the potential demise of Bitcoin.<br/><br/>We don't need to make Bitcoin, or each of US for that matter, into targets of world governments. Especially not so early in Bitcoin's life.<br/><br/>Wikileaks is probably being funded, at least partially, by other governments with interests in leaking damaging information.<br/><br/>But in any case, Wikileaks probably has a bankroll larger than the ENTIRE bitcoin economy at this point in time.<br/><br/>Also, when you create a new Iron Man suit in your lab, you don't take on all the militaries of the world on your first trip out on the "test track". Bitcoin is still in "beta", remember. <img alt="Smiley" border="0" src="/static/img/emoticons/smiley.gif"/><br/><br/>I say, we MUST get Bitcoin accepted at Starbucks and the local grocery store.... BEFORE it gets accepted at Wikileaks.<br/><br/>Then, we'll have a chance.<br/><br/>Starbucks. Anyone have contact info for them?</div> text/html
