bitcoin is being championed as the libertarian answer to the evils of monetary policy, fiat money & inflation. But they’ll accept your “worthless” dollars in a second.

Given that Bitcoin has been "enlisted" in making possible an open market in illegal drugs, I see politicians trying to crack down on it hard. But given the decentralized nature of it, I'm not sure exactly how they'll go about it.
This is going to get interesting pretty quick...

I wish them luck trying to do it, they are going to need to run lots of correlation cryptographic hash attacks on Tor services just to reveal an IP address. Keep in mind that these servers are likely heavily firewalled.
If Silk Road goes down, another site with even more anonymity measures will probably take its place soon enough. Bitcoin is the foundation for all of this, and I don't know if that can be defeated.
