If you really haven't heard about this, see for instance here.

The bitcoin-friendly noises made at that Senate committee meeting have led to Bitcoin doubling in value in half a month.

For those saying that the Government will shut bitcoin down - I would only have brought bitcoin if your Government shunned it. The fact that the Senate are cuddling up to it is distinctly alarming.

But perhaps the Fed are just waiting to launder the 28 million bucks of Bitcoin they stole from Silk Road.

Thanks for the link. I watch some of the testimony and got a mixed message out of it. I don't really pay much attention to what "most" politicians say. They talk out of both sides of their mouth and usually attempt to obscure their real intentions. For instance, any bills they submit do the opposite of what the bill's title suggests. I'm just very distrustful of politicians, either way.

It seems Bitcoin doesn't need government as the technology allows for commoners to be the decider of its fate. And at least for now, they seem to be wholeheartedly embracing it.
