i really hope citi doesn't consider it a big threat.. they'll group up with their banking compatriots and buy the shit out of washington, and the magically all of a sudden.. a majority of our elected officials will be absolutely against bitcoin.
They will do that either way unfortunately. Mastercard has all ready hired lobbyists to do it.
Do you have proof of that? Or is that just speculation?
there was a post on this forum about it a week or so ago. you can just google it yourself.
i don't know how much swing they have though, and how much support btc truly has in congress. we need our own lobbyists after all.
since satoshi is worth so much, it wouldn't hurt to see him drop a few million to win some "lawmakers" over, and pay them in btc.. so that htey have a stake in it, which means they'd less likely turn on bitcoin.
