Yeah, Bitcoin has the attention of the Federal Government. With the information released in the Vault 7 files from Wikileaks regarding compromising TVs, mobile phones, and other devices, and the NSA and police searching people's phones at airports, and taking cash via "civil asset forfeiture," it seems impossible to me not to imagine Bitcoin being co-opted or corrupted as a possibility.

It's worth money. They'll tax it and take it. And trace it.

I am pro-Bitcoin, don't get me wrong, and not familiar with Schiff, but what he was saying to that loud-mouthed shouting fellow was quite accurate in this video.
