What will be interesting to watch develop is when government employees (around the world) start wanting to use bitcoin as a savings technology.

When the government can't pay good people enough to adequately compensate them for their productivity then the government's ability to implement regulations becomes stressed at best. And the government won't be able to print dollars to buy bitcoin at $1M/btc ... it will be $10M+/btc.

Roman soldiers choosing to no longer fight the barbarians come to mind.

As do all of the productive working class people in Atlas Shrugged; not the ones who left for Galt's Gulch but just quit fiat - fed up with the sheer intellectual inconsistency and corruption of it all.
