After all, New York’s BitLicense proposal, once approved, could prove influential at shaping wider US bitcoin regulation, a fact recently underscored by New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) superintendent Ben Lawsky in an interview with CoinDesk.

Of course, while vocal opponents of the bill and its controversial provisions await more guidance, there remains the possibility that another US state will introduce a framework that proves more enticing to the bitcoin industry and its interests.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the richest countries in the world. Home to the the seventh largest oil reserves on the planet and 19th highest nominal GDP per capita, the UAE has quickly developed a high-income economy. Large, man-made islands and gold vending machines are nothing out of the ordinary in the cities of the UAE. That’s why it may come as a bit of a surprise that Bitcoin hasn’t really caught on in the Emirates. However, that could soon change with the launch of igot’s Bitcoin exchange in Dubai.

Bitcoin entrepreneurs seeking a friendly jurisdiction for their business could do worse than end up on the Isle of Man, the picturesque British Crown dependancy located in the Irish Sea.

The island’s government has been quick to embrace cryptocurrency companies, by offering a regulatory environment friendly to digital currencies while promoting other initiatives to encourage cryptocurrency startups to set up shop there.

Richard Ravenhawke is sitting across from me, on his Android phone, as I type this. He has a great energy about him, very relaxed. He wears a big claw around his neck, on a thick gold chain. His eyes are kind, and he’s been through a lot in his life on this earth.

Austrian Economists are harsh critics of government central banks (such as the Federal Reserve System of the United States – a name intended to obscure its role as a central bank, unlike the Bank of England). Austrian Economists can also be very critical of fractional reserve banking, the practice of lending money in greater quantity than the amount of deposits.  For these reasons, Austrian Economists could be expected to be enthusiastic supporters of Bitcoin. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case.

Launched in April as the first product from Dubai-based bitcoin startup Umbrellab, Piiko is part of the company’s larger plans to court consumers by allowing them to harness the power of bitcoin for everyday utility purchases.

The divide between the free market economies of the world and the considerably less free is being widened once again, this time by a singular medium – virtual currency.

The viewpoint from within nations with liberal economies and free markets has changed dramatically recently, from concern over customer protection and lack of jurisdiction during its early days, to total acceptance, with venture capital investment, regulatory oversight and a potentially large network of ATMs from which to facilitate easy, safe transactions. Even government sale of Bitcoin has taken place, with the US Marshal Office, one of the world’s most respected law enforcement agencies, having conducted a Bitcoin auction recently.

Consolidation is not uncommon in new, emerging industries and bitcoin mining is no exception. However, like all things bitcoin, it is moving at a somewhat faster pace than consolidation in traditional industries.

The Bitcoin industry has formed a political action committee that it could use to shower lawmakers and party committees with donations.

The Chamber of Digital Commerce, a month-old trade group for digital currencies and assets like bitcoin, registered a political spending group with the Federal Election Commission this month, according to recently disclosed documents.

It’s not just the big companies – small operations using state-of-the-art chips in super-efficient data centers are also moving to mine their share of bitcoins. And between all that activity, the bitcoin mining community continues to develop, grow and discuss the issues of the day.

Computer manufacturing giant Dell made headlines not terribly long ago for deciding to accept bitcoin on their online store seemingly out of the blue.

And now, it seems, they may be looking to expanding that acceptance to Brazil.

That assumption of sorts is based a tweet from the official Dell in Brazil account (discovered and posted by a user on Reddit.com), which recently asked users about their interest in the digital currency:
