Title: Re: [2013-03-14] No barriers to regulate Bitcoin according to Jeremy Allaire Post by: davidgdg on March 14, 2014, 05:43:33 PM "He also answers the reluctant senator who thinks it is not possible to regulate Bitcoin because of its intrinsic properties of anonymity and decentralization. Allaire just thinks that the regulatory mechanisms that apply to all other forms of payment are readily applicable to Bitcoin from the time where we have a real international collaboration. In addition, security and trust is not an obstacle because the Bitcoin protocol naturally allows transparency. Audits can be conducted as is the case for traditional banks. He noted, however, that not all nations have the same willingness to participate in this international effort that shall lead to regulation. Unlike Japan, the United States is very likely to regulate companies operating Bitcoin, probably because they want to be pioneers. The recent hearings led by Ben Lawsky are very encouraging example in this area."
Perhaps something got lost in translation, but "International collaboration" to regulate Bitcoin sounds exactly like what we don't want and should be arguing against.

Allaire is in authoritarian dream-land, and has next to zero understanding of cryptocurrencies.
