This is really a lot of money for any Bitcoin business. $100,000 is a lot even for a huge exchange like Bitstamp is. I would like that no one applies for the BitLicense so they stay out of the game completely, f**k NY, they don't deserve better.
This license is just another way to steal money from the people, nothing else.
I think that most of these services that apply for a bit license actually benefit from it. Maybe legal benefits or social security benefits or just to tell the government that "Hey we are a legal company that deals with bitcoin and we have nothing to hide"
