Bitcoin at the US Senate

[bnjmnkent]

Hello everybody,

this thread has grown quite a bit  : ( :

I found http://www.banking.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Hearings.Hearing&Hearing_ID=955322cc-d648-4a00-a41f-c23be8ff4cad ,
but where exactly is the webcast going to be broadcasted?

I tried using the contact form on their website, but it is not available.

Thank you.

With this as a backdrop I can't say I expect much good to come out of such a meeting

Really!

“The TPP will boost our economies, lowering barriers to trade and investment, increasing exports and creating more jobs for our people, which is my number-one priority,” Obama said during a Nov. 2011 address. The deal, he said, “has the potential to be a model not only for the Asia Pacific but for future trade agreements” by regulating markets and creating opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses in the growing global marketplace.

Let me guess. Some Canadian subcontractor is going to build the website for this beast.

Your question 'How can there be more foundations?' indicates surprise that others could exist. It shows that you have not thought that there may be other areas of the world that would have their own version of the 'Foundation'

If you had stated something along the lines of 'I am glad that there are more as they may have a different view' then my response would have be different.

As to what is wrong with me then nothing, why should there be unless you think that having a different opinion than yours is somehow wrong.

I still don't see the US relevance here.

The US relevance is implicit because this 'Foundation' that is the centre of the current problem is in the US.

They have Proof of Stake.  By the senate metric, means potential taxpayer, donor or vote influence.

I actually would argue it's good to have some rep's at these senate hearings.  I realize some of the rep's may not have the purest of intentions, but I worry about what would happen in a senate hearing with nobody there from the Bitcoin community.

A lot more damage could be done by SEVERE misunderstanding by government officials.  Having people who at least understand Bitcoins thoroughly could go a long way.

XRP has far more to gain/lose from the hearings than BTC, and is better positioned to do so.  XRP is more Fed-friendly as a debt-trading instrument, even if it is designed to outlive and drain it of value.
