Bitcoin and the American Government

The only people I know who have Bitcoin have lost money. It's not worth as much as what they pay for, but when they bought it, it was worth more than that. They obviously were very shrewd, or perceptive. But I understand that Bitcoin is effectively a company. No, no, I don't trust the American government. Do you? Are you a fan of Bitcoin? I haven't bought any, but I'm thinking about it because I don't know.
