good bad ugly?

it is what it is..

Great news. (I would be cautious with the world "good" at this stage) I guess sooner or later the rest of the EU will do the same.

its a no brainer countries will recognise it.......cause they want to TAX it.

Cause of the BTC spike today?

They are recognizing it because crypto currency is a bankster's cashless/ rf chipped society wet dream.

I think this is in the wrong board. :p

If that was the case they wouldn't have let the source code out which allows for all kinds of anon varieties. I do see what you're trying to say though, just not likely in this case.

This is great news for bitcoin. Bitcoin to $150 in one week.

We'll see. :)

The asic scams .. the hoarding of the coins and hashpower .. all scream false flag/hope event, to me.

+1

and without the source being out etc , that's ah , Visa.

I see your point also Hippie.

i think BTC's biggest problem as stated is its immense concentration , people will deny it but , it is fantastically concentrated.

the "old school" of economics can not comprehend such a concentration , and thus can not resolve it , that and they , have no idea what they are talking about ...

this is BTC dirty little secret , further exposure will air some laundry , it will be rough.

as for the "NSA made BTC" i really doubt it , and if they or any variant agency did ? one has to stand back and say , why ?

it has to be the mother of all unintended consequences, this .... {i don't even entertain such ideas , the probability is literally too low}  

the world will broadly split along Crypto accepting - and Crypto Resistance lines.

some of these lines might be literally as simp0le as looking at a politically "neutral" nations Tax laws, generally the simpler, closer to say a flat tax,  the more likely they will accept. as there are "pick up" benefits.

NSA or CIA.. they both stink. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6652.0

Is it a coincidence that soon after the asics were announced ?

They knew exactly where/when and how to play the cards and thus maximizing Bitcoins centralization.

If they are not already there, scrypt is next.

THIS

We are actually building our own prison here.

Yeah, hmmm are there no full anonymous coins yet that can't easily track or control ...milk to death ?

anoncoin? is it regulation proof-ish? if there was widespread 'local anoncoin dealers everywhere??

Were bitcoins deemed as goods all the state budgets across Europe would be devastated by VAT refunds for "exported" bitcoins.

They cannot control it, so it is worthless to them. They want to their own cashless system based on the current system which they can control.

To put it mildly yes. All they need is a reason.

The Cypress 'haircut' was a test to see how many would buy into it. I'm sure they were pleased with the results.

Problem.. Reaction... Solution... The same cards are continually played.

I admit to having similar thoughts myself but am not completely convinced either way yet.

good and bad which = meaningless |

Unless you sell the news of course
