True, Bernard was accused of mixing his dollars with US$ currency so there was less dependemcy on the US$. Since they have left bitcoin alone, I suspect bitgold is much the same platform. Banks hate these methods since they have no control and will do everything in their power to stop these methods, however, in a few short years there will be a new world currency. The $ and all the paper fluff will run it's course as they print more $'s and Euro's to get out of debt but instead dig themself deeper. A standard is needed and gold has been the standard and first mentioned in Gen 2:11-12 as being "good" . Governments will fight it but gold has history behind it.
