one more comment & im done. the fact that one can tumble bitcoins with others does not bode well for its viability with the US government. As soon as bitcoin, or any other ecurrency, becomes the chosen currency of the wealthy, & tax receipts start falling, & the IRS can no longer follow their money, its game over. The government will to do bitcoins the same thing they did to internet sports books, prevent any US banks from dealing with anyone who deals in bitcoins. So it might still take off for other nations. But should bitcoins start costing the IRS income, forget it as a viable currency for US mainstream transactions.
