Although I agree, when ASICs are made, and they will be made, we need to go with the flow. However, just to relieve your fears a bit, no governmental institution is going to be faster than the market. It takes too long to get approval for the idea, requisition the funds, and by then someone will already have come out with the product.
I doubt anyone of power in the government even knows about Darkcoin, they are fixated on Darkwallet, which will fall due to infiltration of the browser before they realize we exist. By then it will be too late.
With respect, while you might be right about the government, it's unwise to underestimate the Company...
Langley runs the circus, not Washington.
You might think so, but large/huge companies are almost no better. That article on the founders of Google that someone just posted, was an amazing example. And more so, an amazing example of a leader that is fighting the stagnation of being a large company.

But big companies that work for the government are actually going to be almost as bureaucratic and inefficient. But again, I'll agree to be prudent! You never know!
