It’s not that most politicians throughout the U.S. aren’t aware of what Bitcoin is. The problem is they keep trying to find a way to straddle it.

Bitcoin’s Value Increased, Swedish Gov’t Forced To Pay Drug Dealer $1.5 Million

If governments around the world don’t get wise to the relevancy of Bitcoin, they might find themselves in the same situation as Sweden.
