So in lieu of everybody freaking out over a 1week+ old article on China and their BTC exchange banning, an ex Russian banker has decided to look into trademarking Bitcoin. This would likely take it to the next level and hopefully cause more countries to follow suit.

I don't know if this will turn into an actual bank having ownership of some coins or if it will just be him. Should it be a State/Country regulated bank then this will likely cause problems for the value of coins.
