Gad! I don't see it that way at all. The purpose of e-gold is to create an
international internet currency, NOT to defy the state. There are so many
good things that can be done with a digital, gold-backed, currency that
there should be no NEED or DESIRE to defy the state.
I am somewhat appalled by your comments. Don't take that personally. I am
just quite surprised that you want to trade in 'defiance' of the state. If
e-gold becomes a token for that sort of activity, I believe that the 'state'
will shut them down.
Sincerely,
Craig Haynie
