Ash HN: Is Bitcoin a political tool, and should there be rules on how to use it?
There seem to be a lot of libertarians out there who want to shun anyone who doesn't use bitcoins in a libertarian way. They say if it's integrated into the current system, all is lost. This, despite the fact that it is open-source, has supply limits, and provides for easy, instant international trades without fees.
Will libertarians damage bitcoin for what it can do, or will it go on despite them?
