Now that bit-coin is considered money.  Bitfunder is a stock exchange, the government wants to get its greedy hands in the cookie jar.  Hopefully Bitfunder gets all the regulations figured out.

Well I am not really sympathetic. I don't live in the USA yet my own investments are being eroded away due to all this drama with your SEC and remember, you voted in your leaders.

You reap what you sow.

I prefer a world where there are no Bitcoins in the USA at all. How awesome would it be if the USA missed out on the cryptographic economy completely while the rest of the world surges ahead?

Time for Bitcoin to grow up and become the worlds economy, excluding the USA of course. I knew all along the USA and its goal to control and know everything was incompatible with Bitcoin.

Well there's the official BitFunder thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130117.0

Then there's the discussion about the exclusion of US citizens: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=308012.0 (I guess that's what you're looking for)

Then there's the discussion about Ukyo.Loan regarding the current situation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=308053.0

And finally if this problem could also hit havelock: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=308018.0

There is no difference, give your government the power to control the world reserve currency, lets see how long it takes before they are the bully on the block.

The SEC isn't the problem. The SEC is in the process of making crowdfunding legal. All this does is clear the way for another group of US companies to set up a regulated exchange.

SecondMarket or Sterlingfunder for example. The best thing to do is pull your coins out of all these exchanges and wait it out. The SEC has nothing to do with people panic selling or with exchanges shutting down and votes have nothing to do with the inaction of the SEC to publish their rules for crowdfunding.

Don't the world wars show us that the government should not aim for that?

Actually no, most of the countries involved fought to simply maintain their land. Only a few powers were interested in taking over the world.

The function of any Government is to govern and do right by her people. Obviously no Government in the world actually stands up to this ideal, but some are better than others. I suggest the USA works against its own people every single time making it one of the worst offenders, along with China and Saudi Arabia.

The point is were just as mad about it as you are, well those of us that are aware. I'm not happy with what the US is doing any more than you are, but pointing fingers at people in the US and saying Haha I hope you get screwed even more its your fault is pretty childish and naive to say the least.

All of us need to band together. We should be upset mostly at this situation and trying to come together to find a solution so this stops happening to all the exchanges. Blaming governments and their people wont stop the panic selling Smiley

Let's stifle our emotions for a sec & figure out what we're talking about.
Most of the bitcoin economy revolves around the dollar.  Like so:



Are you saying you wish for The US Dollar to vanish from the bitcoin scene?  If so, the US Government is your friend.  Our government is working, albeit halfheartedly, to stem the influx of USD into the bitcoin economy.  The flourishing bitcoin scam scene is doing the best it can to hurry teh process along.
