I will use LEGAL means to do so, but will also keep the transactions "under the radar" (although this latter activity COULD be considered illegal; e.g., "structuring") so as to retain what I have by not allowing specifically named so-called legal "authorities" to impede upon my own savings and investments any further than already occurs on a daily basis through compulsory taxation along side the "other" covert taxation method: inflationary monetary policy through political state money monopoly and legal tender laws.

I have only purchased a small amount of Bitcoin in order to gain some understanding of its use and how to consummate transactions with the money. I will engage in NO illegal or illicit purchases, i.e., drugs or "other" illegal contraband. I have no interest in such goods.

Currently Bitcoin is mainly an experimental, transitional, transactional money for my expected financial uses, as well as a speculative venture. This latter point may change as time goes by. I may begin to use it in purchases as well, but for now it is mainly a speculative money.		40500-30Facebook, Google+, In personIgnorance of moneyLibertarian / Anarcho-CapitalistNever really certainFull-time employedMarriedNone of the aboveMet new people., Learned about cryptography / encryption., Learned about security / anonymization / TOR.Agorism.

I despise compulsory the state and its apparatus, government. The political establishments (individuals whom populate governments acting as the apparatus of the state using the force of "laws" to do their bidding) which thrive off of power ultimately through the use and threat of violence. But I despise even further the ignorance of individuals whom support such forms of states through fear, ignorance and pure intellectual slothfulness.

I see the state as irrelevant to a peaceful people. Individuals whom would otherwise make peaceful and voluntary transactions amongst themselves through the free markets were it not for the various forms of state meddling which throws these individuals into the "black" markets.

The state absolutely threatens peaceful individuals with the threat and force of violence and compulsion.
