Private Digital Money and the Fight Against Oppressive Government

By DanielJMitchell, on June 2nd, 2011

I’m depressed about the global network of tax police being organized by the OECD and high-tax governments. If successful, it will lead to much bigger, more oppressive government. But maybe there’s a way of fighting back. Here’s a video from the folks at Reason TV about something that governments would hate – anonymous, digital money.

And here’s a video from the bitcoin people. I have no way of knowing how well this system will work and how insulated it will be from government interference, but I very much hope it will be successful. Governments will never behave if they think people have no escape options.

If anybody has an informed opinion about this, I’d welcome some feedback.
