I've spent way too much trying to explain to libertarians why government regulations are a necessary evil. I've given up on that because it goes nowhere. Bitcoin allows me to observe the damage caused by complete deregulation in real time, with the damage mostly being inflicted on the people who deserve it. There's poetic justice at work. And similar to any collapsing ideology, the rationalizations made in defense of Bitcoin are like the punchline to a really good joke (any variant of "no this is actually good!" never fails to crack me up).

Basically, if you took any pleasure in seeing Romney's campaign collapse in 2012 (gotta unskew those polls!) than you'll get why following Bitcoin is a good time.
