In the light of recent developments in the digital gold market, with companies like e gold being indicted and the  US government taking a hardline against some of them because of moneylaundering and unregulated illegal practices going unchecked, what do you think the future of these alternative currencies or digital currencies are ?
Can the US govt and others force them out of business as some believe?

So they call it downsizing, ecomomising, rationalization, belt tightening… you know the score, it’s a crunch.
Financial markets reacting to each other and mirroring each others emotions, like twelve year old school girls.
Whose fault is it? The speculators, the central bank, the fat corporations- who were on a ten year long grabfest. The Arabs hoarding their black gold?
All of the above?
I’ve been writing about how to survive this in …read more
