ah. i see what you're saying. well, for one, i never plan to sell, but i would like to maybe borrow against my #btc some day. i guess i am hoping that by then we've won. or that at least, there will be freedom oriented options for such things. if my tradeoff is privacy / security now and maybe less options to operate in a white market in the future, i am ok with that. i think it's more important to focus on the near, clear and present dangers, then the distant, theoretical ones
