BVDW WARNS CONSUMERS AND DEALERS AS PAYMENT BITCOINS with Interpretation

The Federal Association of Digital Economy (BVDW) advises consumers of the use of cash "Bitcoins" ex. Bitcoins have the potential of the whole society through tax evasion, money laundering and illegal transactions harm the long term. For the safety of consumers and in the interest of all market participants in the BVDW recommends the best means and methods of payment for online transactions in e-commerce trust.   Hey guys, using Bitcoin would really hurt us, please don't.

BVDW Vice President Christopher N. of Dellingshausen:
"The Federal Association of Digital Economy Consumers warned against the use of cash Bitcoins. For one, issuing and control of cash in our society a sovereign function. By using Bitcoins as payment, the necessary review by the State in cases of fraud or money laundering is impossible. Bitcoins why are simply dangerous and have the potential to harm society as a whole just to sustainably reduce tax evasion, money laundering or other illegal businesses.   We should be the ones who determine how much your money is worth.  You might take away my job!

Second, contrary to an automated control money supply as is the case, Bitcoins' every economic policy and their escape to the ground. The extraordinary importance of economic policy for the company, the companies and organizations, and virtually every consumer in the wake of the financial crisis may already know.  Our monetary policy has been so effective, take a look at the booming ecomomy and stable monetary value over the last few years.  If Bitcoin existed we might have a financial crisis!

We assume that, on substitute currencies' like Bitcoins sooner or later be banned by legislation, because he sees the responsibility to protect its citizens and society far-reaching. exist for the safety and welfare of consumers, but also in terms of the interests of traders and operators of online stores must be a regulation for the payment. Although we operate in a virtual environment, but with real transactions. Excluded from this course are limited points and miles scheme or similar customer loyalty programs, which happens a pay similar compensation to a limited extent within a range between the user and service provider. We are the only ones who should be able to steal money from people, so it will be banned.

The real economy must not become a monopoly game. The BVDW recommends that all market participants to continue to rely on the proven means of payment for online transactions in e-commerce or online barter. A collection of Bitcoins as a monetary reserve could be validated by another on the day by state intervention. The economy should not be a monopoly of Bitcoin, it should be a monopoly of our choosing!

In addition, the EU legislative process seeks to identify the Payment Services Directive (PSD) has already initiated the first important steps for the cross-border payments. The principle of self Bitcoins would occupy this position. By will shape the policy, however, cross-border payments as easily, efficiently and safely as possible, the policy while enhancing competition by new entrants gain access to payment markets. The legal basis for the Single Euro Payments Area, therefore, is the Payment Services Directive, the legal basis for the creation of an EU-wide internal market for payments.  Just wait until our crappy law comes out, you won't even want bitcoin.

Certainly, this policy makes the work of individual payment service, but overall, it proves to be useful for a transparent and trustworthy market view. In the future single, destructive forces are repeatedly express an interest, released its own new currency to provide from state control. Based on recent events and reports in the media about the use of Bitcoins as payment, we experience the result of a first wave of a currency discussion, the intensity in the next two to three years will continue to expand. Trust in us, your infallible government.  May you slaves have a ignorant day!

Do you think he was trying to praise bitcoin?  I re-read it several times to see if that was the case.  I also put in a disclaimer.  The fact that so many could be so confused means that at least he was unclear about his intentions.  Saying things that approximate to this is the most dangerous thing we've ever seen unless government puts a stop to it, is not the right way to say its disruptive.  I saw major flaws in his discussion.


1) No mention of the lack of a central bank (and subsequent negative effects)

I cannot fathom having a reasonable discussion about bitcoin without talking about this.  To me its like saying the advantage of Linux is the cute penguin logo and ignoring the fact that its free.

2) He focuses heavily on the drug and prostitution angle

I do not know his exact political beliefs, but I can tell you he does not come off as a libertarian in his podcast.  Focus on this means he is lacks vision.

I hope that he is supporting it.  If so, I hope he clarifies his point soon, because his post is dangerous against P2P currency.

This is crap.  I am ready to go Android (although this will obviously not help me get an App).  I also do not know how they could allow money management applications and not this.  I also do not think it is an "intermediate" currency.  It is currency.

Keep up the good fight!  I am still planning on making a donation once I can buy up some bitcoins (through the roof right now!)
