All these things point into the direction of ending anonymity for new entrants into the bitcoin world for once and ever. What will come next? Suggestions to split the bitcoin client as we know it into many different functional apps: wallet, transaction serializer, de-serializer, validator, miner, .....? Followed by the constitution of a trusted node network? Naturally only available through a well regulated bitcoin foundation. And only for the ones capable of paying remarkable licensing fees, including fees for security-auditing? And so on...
In the end we will face a 100 percent trace- and track able world currency recording any kind of financial action and interaction history of contemporary and future mankind.
Me, at least want to make it absolutely clear: that sudden in public articulated interest of GS directors into bitcoin is a bad sign, definitely.
I support whatever traceability there currently is, no more no less
