According to FINCEN.
Edit:
I figured people would connect the dots. FINCEN requires anyone operating as a business who exchanges one currency for another to register as a Money Services Business, whose compliance costs millions of dollars. Naturally this would only allow a few key players to operate as such, therefore decentralized exchanges are not legally possible, and because the regulation is applied to anyone using the entry/exit points that are the banks it is not technically possible either to operate outside the bounds of regulation.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I hope they shut down Bitcoin. Would be funny. |
I have a bitcoin address that anyone can send BTC too, so I'm going to post it on my sig because I think someone is going to randomly give me their BTC: 1D37qouguK5rNh1mSZDocgVCvA2rxsAgLp  |

*Shrug* They're decentralized. The legality doesn't matter, they'll have a pretty rough time stopping them. |
Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

When the government gets hold of some people and puts them in federal penitentiary for felony tax evasion, people will learn. You DON'T need a big red "OFF" button to shut down bitcoin. Bitcoin is very fragile. For crying out loud people go into panic mode whenever they see a large sell order. Also any new laws or regulations will deter future investors thus preventing new "fiat" from coming in.

Not if every person registers as a MSB? Coming soon, MSB forms stapled to birth certificates It's probably true that trading in any sort of unregistered or un-tracked financial instrument is or will soon be illegal in most jurisdictions. That's why any type of decentralized exchange, to be successful in the long run, must be anonymous/pseudonymous. On the positive side, all of the restrictions governments are imposing on fiat currencies are making them less and less like real money every day. That can only bode well for the value of cryptocurrencies, and we may soon be much less interested in exchanging them with fiat. |

Good thing Bitcoin is " the world currency " and not owned, managed or controlled by the US. As BTC becomes more widely distributed, any actions the US takes will be tantamount to pissing in the wind. It will take time but there is no doubt it will survive attacks from those slowly losing control. And eventually THRIVE, just like BitTorrent. |

Bitcoin will not survive.
It was not designed to, it is only an experiment to test the waters; The real global champion will
be the one that rises from it's ashes, better, faster, stronger: Anti-fragile perfected.
We are already seeing the emergence of a true world government by the people for the people and for
that the first shot is establishing a currency that no nation or corporation can control. You can almost
say that Bitcoin is the internet nations currency an underlying web that connects everyone in the
planet now with a currency to match.
Smile and wave, we are the new Boston tea party.
that exchange that people are talking about, who cares if it is illegal? If it's useful people will use it and
even those who wish to stop it will see the ideology behind it and they will make the same mistake they
always do, enforcing it by the point of a gun, taking away ones logic or their life. silly rabbits tricks are for kids.
