Someone can apply for .coin as it is a generic term, .bitcoin might not be possible due to trademark issues, one cannot simply claim open source project names as their own.

I've been using Paypal since 2004 and it's the best payment method for shopping online, it's very easy to use and has the best consumer protections, plus you get a lot of discounts and return postage paid, and it's free.

Bitcoin can be regulated the same way cash is regulated.
If you have some amount of cash in your possession you need to know where it came from, the same thing applies to bitcoin, you can say you don't know the name of the person but you need to know why he gave it to you.
This is not rocket science...
It starts to be a rocket science when that person who sold you 10 BTC had previously got them from selling drugs and you bought that 10 BTC with fiat for further investment. Now go figure. There is a reasonable doubt you are helping to launder them. At this case you actually did and you had no idea. We are of course speaking about sums of money exceeding some amount where it starts to be interesting, but because there is no way of factual control of a specific person who might be in doubt of authorities every small transaction might be interesting to the authorities and thats the problem. It cannot be regulated the same way as cash. Not even closely. You cannot limit the number of bitcoins, but you can limit the amount of cash in circulation by banks. When a fiat currency gets into the inflation, deflation etc. a central authority might limit the possibility to purchase or sell such currency from/to abroad etc. And for every single law that exist you need to know the owner of the money. Without a knowledge of the owner of the money you cannot regulate. Thats why offshore companies are so invincible. It is really not that easy. It's not your problem where the bitcoins came from if you buy them at an exchange, a regulated exchange... If you buy them from some stranger on a back alley for hard cash, well, how will someone know those bitcoins are yours now, and if you do this you probably know the risks, and this transaction might be illegal if it is above some particular amount. For the second part the analogy is with gold, gold is heavily regulated and no government can control the amount of gold in circulation, or its inflation. Again, not rocket science. You are talking about is "blacklisting". What happens if in the future, all miners by mutual agreement, mix their newly "created" coins with coins that are in "mixing pools", which would solely exist for future open source wallets when mixing is the standard? How would the exchanges or governments be able to "blacklist" then? I don't think blacklisting can be made, at least in any meaningful way. |

Bitcoin dont have defined price.
Price is what are you willing to pay, Value is what you get.
400$ is very good money if you asking me!
But will see, after halving will rise for sure!
When is the halving? Sorry not reading news Here: http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/Around 07-13-2016. |

So any other forks, like Litecoin and Dogecoin and the other hundreds of forks have to register with FinCEN and include AML features?

Why not use a lite wallet?
Or blockchain.info?
I have my wallet.dat and I have my addresses there , I want to use them to sign messages that's why I don't want to switch somewhere else. (not even sure if I can import the addresses and sign from blockchain.info or not) . You can import your addresses to any decent wallet, including Blockchain.info. |

I remain moderately positive and think that we'll see $400 again before this month ends. I think significant amount of money now used to pump some altcoins (ETH now being the most prominent one) is flowing back into Bitcoin within weeks and that might be enough to break the $400 barrier. Another factor is that the median value is still in an uptrend (clearly visible when looking at the Bitcoin-chart of at least the last 12 months).
Not likely. Price can only increase when bitcoin scale, we are at the limit of what the network can handle, if a surge in interest happens like in the past, it will be catastrophic. |

Site is up for less than 3 days.
It's a scam, stay away, it doesn't matter if some payments are being made, soon it will disappear.

So, the only difference between classic and Core is the block size increase, right?
