Sounds like they JA is tossing ideas around very similar to namecoin ... and something like Ricardian contracts (Open Transactions) for important censorship resistant documents. I thought this bit was salient also and should be stashed in memory for later use Eric Schmidt: The average person does not understand that RSA was broken into and an awful lot of private keys involving commerce were taken. ... right here is all the reason you need to get into bitcoin.

this transcript is from 2011.
Since then Eric Schmidt already has said he was aware of Bitcoin on some occasions. But indeed maybe JA was the first one to introduce it to him.

Schmidt is the guy who wants to make personal ownership of drones illegal.
Authoritarian from the word go.
Google + Bitcoin is not a good fit. Western Union makes sense - even Amazon. But not Google.

Schmidt: "If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place."
and
“The only way to manage this is true transparency and no anonymity. In a world of asynchronous threats, it is too dangerous for there not to be some way to identify you. We need a [verified] name service for people. Governments will demand it.”

Ex Googler: Things like this do interest Google, infact bitcoin is exactly up their street. Anything that uses technology for 'the greater good' is a primary target. They will have a small team watching and waiting.

RSA is still used by banks and other online stores so how could it be that porous?

This sounds awesome, I wouldn't mind getting paid by adsense in Bitcoin, no more waiting on Paychecks.

I think google enjoys being a powerful company.
The thing about America, is if anyone threatens the USD, we invade. Google is a company, all they have to do is arrest, and seize.
It would be foolish if they made a g-coin.

http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/28/technology/google_future_of_internet/index.htmSchmidt also revealed that Google wanted to create a rival to Internet peer to peer currency Bitcoin. The company planned to call it "Google Bucks." Though Schmidt said peer to peer currencies like Bitcoin are "a great idea," Google Bucks never got off the ground because these currencies are illegal in many countries. It's not illegal now. Let's see Google try to make a rival to Bitcoin, and then eventually end up mining Bitcoin.

And they could easily incorporate into google checkout, with the funds to not have to stress if someone trades a $40,000,000 house.

It is not just Google, even Facebook, Twitter and and all sorts of other sites could pull the rug under Bitcoin's feet if they decided to utilize their user base. The coins would def be different in terms of the technicalities, they certainly would not require mining. I think the only plus(for us) is that most big companies would probably be to stubborn and would make the coins centralized around there own branch of companies similar to how gift cards work. An advantage for "them" would be that the system would turn a few blind eyes when it comes to regulations, we all know the law loves to fall on side of the big guy.

If Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Yahoo all tried to start their own cryptos, they would all try to 51% attack each other. Nah, better they mine Bitcoins. If any of them tries to 51% attack Bitcoin, the others would defend Bitcoin to make sure they don't profit unfairly. They would each start their own Bitcoin mining pools for their customers. Competitive capitalism at its finest.

my impression is, that all of those big players watch bitcoin closely. but all of them also know that it is foolish to move too soon and just wait and see. bitcoin is still too small for anything serious.
