I'd call the government's bluff on this one, there is no 'transmission' since the owner ship of the bitcoin never changes hands - it remains with the original owner.
The physical object created is not a payment instrument either since it can't be used as a bitcoin, only the information stored on it can be used and that makes it more like a wallet, a device that stores currency.
Well said. I have been boycotting anything to do with the Olympics for some time. It is a horrible over corporatised money grubbing enterprise and very little at all to do with the athletes and its origins.
The IOC is a corrupt dictatorship of megalomaniacs - do nothing at all that will support them in any way what so ever.
Mr Hayden might actually be justifying his own predictions by referring to these twentysomethings "who haven't talked to the opposite sex in five or six years.", as sexual frustration can be a powerful motivator when directed into other pursuits. Isaac Newton, for example, developed calculus during his period of celibacy which his contemporaries described as sending him a bit bonkers as well.
Nerds not getting laid are to be feared indeed, rather than ridiculed.
Besides, some of us just find the opposite sex unnecessary and annoying.
