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.
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.
