Correction: bit.ly link does go back to this article, originates from/. tweet to this article which I had copied and pasted, had wrong URL copied when I intended to paste Hypnotoad video link in here.
Had intended to link to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHU2RlSCdxU (Hypnotoad 10 hours), must have had the bit.ly shortened URL in my clipboard from posting it on Twitter. Guessing/. blocks shortened links due to abuse which is why it redirects back here. FAIL on my part.
All you would have to do is wait until the last Bitcoin has been mined and their value has made them too cumbersome. It would be laughably easy to pull this off.
So... the year 2140 then? Have fun with this plan in 127 years, good luck!
And in the end, when I want to sell WoW weapons, buy webserver space, or play a few games of poker online, why would I use gold, credit card or paypal, which all require me to remember log-in creditials, give away information and/or pay a bunch of third party fees.
For BitCoin poker SealsWithClubs.eu (available in the US) runs exclusively on BTC deposits and withdrawals while SwitchPoker (US players not accepted) takes it as a deposit method and then converts it to fiat. Another site, InfinityPoker, which has been in beta for close to 6 months plans to also be available to US players and will accept BTC as a deposit method and convert it to fiat (and back to BTC when you withdraw).
Not thrilled with the Transportation Security Administration's new touchy-feely pat down techniques and full-body scanners? Now there's a line of underclothes that offer a friendly reminder of the Fourth Amendment during controversial searches.
It's called 4th Amendment Wear.

NH has two large airports (Manchester and Portsmouth [and several smaller ones]), a power plant (Seabrook), and is not likely to be attacked on it's on if it adopts a foreign policy of non-interventionism and free trade (you know, like America was INTENDED to) - in addition we see $0.71 worth of services for every dollar we ship to DC, 47th out of 50 in the country (source: Federal Spending Received Per Dollar of Taxes Paid by State, 2005 - http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/266.html) - we no longer need the federal government and would do better on our own.

There is *no* explicit right to privacy in the Constitution, or any other doctrine that the USA was founded on. There is a limitation on unreasonable search and seizure, but no explicit right to privacy.
The bill of rights provides only basic examples of your rights, anything not explicitly given to the 3 branches by the document is retained by the people and States; or at least this is how Madison intended for it to work. There was strong opposition to the inclusion of a Bill of Rights to the document for preciously this reason, that the people would interpret them as their only rights.

Then Senator Obama served from January 3, 2005 – November 16, 2008, the Iraq resolution was enacted enacted October 16, 2002, the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists September 18th, 2001. When did Obama "vote against war", when he was in the Illinois State Senate?

To give your comment some context, it's also worth noting that in the UK 0.6% percent of the population struggle with problem gambling, 68% of the population had participated in some form of gambling, and only 3% gambled online.

Oh, what's that ?
You can't ?
While this ATM doesn't dispense them there are physical Bitcoins you could carry on your persons, https://www.casascius.com/
So long as they can be kept physically secure in the machine there is nothing to stop future BitCoin ATMs from being able to dispense said coins.

In the United States banks were ordered to block these transactions under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlawful_Internet_Gambling_Enforcement_Act_of_2006 ), though there are some poker sites that continue to accept US players following Black Friday.

authorization of force != declaration of war
declaration of war = declaration of war
even traitors deserve a fair trial, see also John Adams legal defense of Captain Preston after the Boston Massacre.
