[QUOTE="vuego, post: 1050126, member: 23741"] So we both agree that MediaPortal is not dependent on a reliable donation income and no government will bailout anyone but banks and companies too big to fail. Do you wish to change your vote to YES or is there another reason to still vote against? It's no coincidence that Bitcoin was launched during one of the government bank bailouts. A message is even encoded in the [URL='https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block']genesis block[/URL]. Maybe I misunderstood and you also vote NO to USD donations since there's no government there to "save us" either. I do understand that decentralized currency is viewed as a threat by banks and governments as it moves power away from them. If I was working for a traditional bank I'd probably also discourage everyone from using other coins than my own. I agree that it looks like a religious discussion. Some people find comfort in the idea that a mighty force will step down from its crystal throne in the sky and "save us" as long as we obey his commandments. Some call it God, others Government ;) [/QUOTE]
