At first blush I was just gonna say "bullshit" but instead I will say, "nice post" although I don't think any gov can ever take over bitcoin. It seems to me to exist outside of that. You can't close Pandora's box once she gets laid the first time. You feel me?

Indeed. I agree with you.  Thought it was an interesting article.

Lol, I too had my bullshit-reply almost completely written in my mind while loading the thread, but it was indeed an interesting article.
Matonis likes to write articles though, often containing predictions, of which not many have turned out to be true (yet).
