...On another note, government legislation is good as long as it's not a ban. The more and more regulations and legislation we see the more it legitimizes bitcoin.
Sometimes over-regulations are a form of ban. Strictly forbidding something (in this case - Bitcoin) would make any government look like North Korea, so instead they try to 'help' with regulations, but if those are hard/impossible to comply with - the effect would be the same.
Would it be good if you were obliged to register your every BTC address with government institution, or declare every satoshi you have, or pay tax on hobby-mining etc?
