Goodnews! Title: Re: 2013-11-17 Bloomberg: US-Agencies-to-Say-Bitcoins-Offer-Legitimate-Benefits Post by: knight22 on November 18, 2013, 04:18:00 AM Quote Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is also weighing in on the hearing, saying that it has no plans to regulate the currency. “Although the Federal Reserve generally monitors developments in virtual currencies and other payments system innovations, it does not necessarily have authority to directly supervise or regulate these innovations or the entities that provide them to the market,” Bernanke wrote in a letter to the committee.

Isnt this pretty much what the chinese bank administrator said recently??? THIS IS COMPLETELY insane! ... Id expected much more negative from US government. So far, Im thoroughly surprised. If ... this shit is truely this positive...then sky is the limit! Its hard to believe this. But, the other side is obvious too, while fed may not have any immediate plans to regulate... Im sure they are the ones behind the banks pulling the ropes on closing business accounts because they transact in bitcoin. who knows...

Now, in order to protect the citizens, we will be providing bitcoin-licences to shops that want to accept bitcoins for the low low price of $10k / month. ;D
