SideNote: Jim Rogers knew what he was talking about; he said if Government wants total control of money, they will. I was reading elsewhere about how Bitcoin would undermine faith in the currencies. If you really think about it, this currency control by the U.S. Government has also been applied to the PMs market. Governments will not stand for any competition that may undermine the strength of their currency PERIOD. GRIM
