Everyone is talking about Bitcoin and all the neat rebel things this currency can be used for. People like Glenn Beck and Alex Jones (although he didn't use to!) sing it's praises but is it really a good thing? Any currency without something backing it like Gold for example is not something you want to invest in. Bitcoin is just another Fiat currency that is volatile like stock. This idea of digital currency sounds cool but if a EMP/solar flare were to happen in the country you live in you would have no way to access your Bitcoins.

A cashless society means a governmental body could add any tax to your digital currency or even take money out to pay any "fees" without your consent.
