Neat, I'll be very interested to see what comes of this.

I'll call it now: They'll heavily regulate/ban Bitcoin in New York.

They did it to firearms, soda, and other fun things. New York doesn't like fun things. (NYC at least)

I like New York City, it's a pretty fun town. Don't know about the whole state though

I'm far more optimistic. New York (along with America) in general has been more and more receptive to bitcoin and see's the potential it has in things like tax revenues, job creations, etc etc.  They may decide to apply traditional financial laws to bitcoin so companies have some clear guidence on what rules to follow, but I personally don't expect them to clamp down on bitcoin too harshly.
