This is a very interesting development in my opinion. It's also interesting that marijuana legalization is also in it's beginning acceptance stage, like BTC

gambling... marijuana... remittance... there is a whole shit load of stuff coming. Bitcoin will rise a great deal in 2014 if left unchecked. The problem is banks keep on snipping the connections to bitcoin from the real economy. All the sudden one day they cut out some exchange.... like how bitfloor was frozen. Then another and another. I wonder how much they already slowed down the train.

"Unchecked"? Pretty nasty way to look at it. "Alone" might be a nicer outlook. :)

But I do wonder where it would be without banks actively working to sabotage it.

There seems to be an opportunity here for a business to facilitate the payment of both state and federal taxes with Bitcoin.

With closed loop ATMs we shouldn't need banks for much. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=403210
