If people cant decide to make and prop own their own constructs and values as portrayed through money then are they truly free?
Is somebody stopping you from doing that?
this makes sense as only the federal government has the power to issue currency.
As per Article I, you are correct.
well had they ruled that bitcoins were currency that would have made them illegal to own or use.
by treating them under the same catagory as property they allowed their use.
personally i wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole but that is just me. i have done some digging into these things.
they are highly volatile and while they are currently running i think $800-900:1 most of the major brokerage firms have gone out of business or have been busted by
legal authorities.
it isn't something i would stick my money into.
if i want something like that i would trade on the forex.
I would also like to add I wouldn't put my money into something that seems to get lost easily. All Bitcoin makes me think of is Vern in "Stand By Me" digging under his porch looking for his jar of coins. That is the same management of some of these firms.

Well, Christ, I wouldn't either. That sounds insane. Putting money into a "currency" that doesn't even have the backing of confidence in the issuer is akin to sticking one's dick in a toaster and hoping the electricity doesn't work when you plug said toaster in. Which might be a safe bet, if you're paying your electric bill in Bitcoins.
