Yes if you want to remain in the shadows.
As opposed to the clear, loving light of regulatory bliss? I've done far better "in the shadows" of BTC+PMs than I ever would have in the regulated realm of fiat.

if you want to utilise the tool of freedom known as bitcoin.... then stop relying on the government FIAT..
while still requiring the use of bitcoin to fiat exchanges you are still relying on FIAT (government property)
its hard for you to complain about not wanting regulation and wanting the freedom of bitcoin if you do not yourself free yourself away from requiring FIAT.
bitcoin is not government property thus no government can claim ownership to then regulate it. so stop worrying about bitcoin regulation.. the whole regulations thing is about FIAT
if you dont like FIAT laws. then dont touch fiat.

Franky's totally right: if you touch fiat (in the open rather than in the hidden underground "cash-only" market), then you have to play by the State's and banks' rules. You're exactly right, while also completely missing the point. You're operating under the assumption that a business that works on the interface between fiat and bitcoin needs to touch it in order to operate. This is not the case. It's a matter of being creative and challenging your assumptions of what a business is and what it takes to operate one successfully. If you think of a business as an organization that requires an office, and a corporate charter, and a bank account, you start off excluding a great many possible solutions to the problems due the way you're unconsciously limiting your imagination. Think of a business a being simply a group of people who are all working together to earn an income by solving problems. What tools does a group of people who are working together to solve problems need to organize themselves? What are all the possible approaches they could try in order to overcome the obstacles getting in their way? Do they all need to be located in the same city, or even the same continent? Entire universes of possibilities present themselves if you set aside preconceived notions that were formed in previous centuries and instead remain open to fully employing the capabilities we have today.

I bet the ones that do will be more likely to survive the next few years compared to the ones that don't. Natural selection will eventually fix the problem.

Please tell. ok CAMPBX is the new 'bankers favourite' 405 Seller of money orders 408 Check casher 409 Money transmitter 499 Other for all US states.. after rechecking the listings of companies just beginning 'Bit' only bitbox is 409 registered. (guess my enthusiasm was too quick) i could see campBX not having as many bureaucratic issues with frozen accounts then lets say... exchanges like version 1 of intersango

Multiple reasons.
1. ASICminer is a company who wants Fiat. That is why they exist. They have been the primary source of the coin dumping, as they take the 50% of their mined coins and sell them. The ASICminer shareholders also probably are selling their dividends. 2. BTC was artifically high as people had to buy BTC to buy avalon chips, ASICminer products, etc. As mining difficulty skyrockets (ASICminer going to add 800-1000 TH/sec ALONE by the end of the year, Avalon chips are 300 Th/sec, KNC miner is another 300TH/sec, BFL is god knows how much, at least 200 TH/sec, maybe up to 1000TH/sec) and the price drops, less people spend BTC to get mining gear, so the price drops even more, causing a vicious circle. 3. Combined with #2, there's no good reason to buy BTC for goods and services, only artifically BTC-only products were keeping it up 4. Regulation has literally come outright and stated that MINING = Money transmiter (i.e. illegal to do), if not using the client outright being money transmission. California especially
Unless something absolutely dramatic changes, this downward turn will not end. And ASICMiner will continue to drive it to 0$ as fast as possible as they dump coins.
Now add in the only way to ANONYMOUSLY mine is via solo block mining through Tor, and that nobody can reliably solo mine a block in less than a month's time except ASICminer, and you've opened yourself up to MASSIVE liability
Now that you can no longer mine without spending thousands and thousands of dollars for what is looking to be a "never-meet-ROI" investment, BTC has fundamentally changed from what it once was, to a centralized, psuedo-controlled beast. ASICminer will have enough power to take 70% of the hashrate soon. All they can do is sell overpriced hardware, but knowing how much AM has and what they are doing to the exchange rate, you'd have to be mentally deranged to buy anything at any price.
BTC has basically become Gold. Completely infeasible to mine it on your own, you have to buy it from other people. And like gold, it's value is currently dropping, but unlike gold, it has no reason to bounce back. You now essentially have to go through government controlled systems to accquire the coin.
You gave AsicMiner a rope and they hung you with it. I hope your share prices were worth it, they will drop as the exchange rate drops.

Price will drop to a point such that ROI on an Asic miner exceeds one year. Supply & Demand dictates that any such get rich quick scheme will cause a massive influx of hashing power and selloff of coins.
If the cost of electricity cannot set the baseline for sane-return-on-investment, then competition between dumpers will set the baseline for sane-return-on-investment by plummeting the exchange rate.

Of course. That's always a given with any commercial endeavor. It also has nothing to do with the topic.
