Do you think the U.S. and Chinese governments aren't already building mining farms? They are.

The Bitcoin network is decentralized. People would keep mining in secret where necessary, or migrate to more friendly geographic regions -- but that isn't even relevant; the notion that any government is going to be able to control Bitcoin is laughable. Bitcoin is going to kill the dollar, and the U.S. government will follow; good money pushes out bad money, and socialist governments depend on having control over the money supply. Plus, it's "illegal" to share movies and T.V. shows, but torrenting those files is bigger than ever; bittorrent makes up a significant portion of all internet traffic.

The best places to take this conversation are Twitter or #bitcoin-assets.
