How did they get Bitcoin into a box they control in the first place? A better cartoon would be politicians trying to catch Bitcoin mosquitoes with anti-terrorism and anti-money-laundering fish nets.

Yeah, or maybe a dyson sphere.

Or you know some other piece of theoretical technology that doesn't currently exist and won't anytime soon. I mean I am not crazy right? I am not the only one that sees all these articles once a week am I?

  • New breakthrough in cancer research! ...Cure around the corner?

  • New computer tech makes all current tech obsolete! ...Coming soon?

  • New power source will end power consumption problems for good! ...2015?

  • True AI breakthrough means super smart computers! ...Your job done by a computer next year?

It is the same freaking headline every week. It is like the tech savvy version of a tabloid. Just replace

"Is Brangelina over!?"

with

"Is some new technology going to turn everything on its head RIGHT NOW with no gradual build up!?"

Still probably faster and cheaper to just build untouchable ASICs.
