More like rampant tax avoidance just like with Egold, and regular gold, paired with perpetual forgetting that Bitcoin is the opposite of anonymous, especially if you buy it with a credit card or via an exchange that has your legal name.<p>It&#x27;s a wasteful technology, for the most part, to put it mildly. I&#x27;m glad I got into movies instead of gaming, since I&#x27;ve heard it&#x27;s as difficult to find a cheap GPU as it is to find cheap .22 LR right now.<p>- Greg.

This feels like preemptive scapegoating. Sure, this is possible, but only if the marketcap continues to grow at a rapid rate. Currently, it&#x27;s a drop in the bucket compared to the marketcap of securities and has yet to reach gold&#x27;s marketcap of ~$10T.
