Treasury to seek advice from bitcoin community

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/03/treasury-advice-bitcoin-community-financial-technology-currencies

The government is asking the bitcoin community for advice on dealing with cryptocurrencies, in an effort to bolster Britain’s lead in the financial technology sector.

The Treasury is asking for information on new digital currencies from the public, law enforcement agencies and financial regulators – but also from so-called “FinTech” firms, which include bitcoin afficionados.
