Well, different people may have different objectives. The
question is what objectives does e-gold uniquely serve and what
objectives motivate most people's interest in e-gold.

I am absolutely certain that if, in the long run, e-gold is
successful the state will do everything in its power to shut
them down. E-gold (as a means to a free society) and the
state (the instrument of tyranny) cannot, in the long run, both
exist in the same world. The question is whether or not there
will be anything the state can do about it. I fervently hope
that, when the time comes, the answer will be negative and
freedom will triumph.
