OK I have a general question about this.
How is it determined who owns a bitcoin. Isn’t it just a digital number? Why couldn’t bunches of copies be made? Is there some central registry?
I guess I just don’t understand the whole bitcoin thing

Our greedy government needs cash, so this is no surprise. It’s just about killed the private sect,r and it has millions of votes to buy.

Is this tacit approval of Bitcoin on the governments part?

For once I hope that everybody involved in Bitcoins drives their price down so low just prior to this sale that the USG holdings aren’t worth enough to buy an overcooked discount hotdog after a football game is over. Then once the sale is made, return Bitcoins to their former value.

“US Government Announces it Will Sell $25m Worth of Silk Road Bitcoins”
I assume the writer means $25MM (twenty-five million) rather than $25M (twenty-five thousand).
I’m increasingly seeing careless writers use M for MM in stories.
