I like how coblee said the USG should mine to prevent a 51% attack

Who said they already don't do that. Notice the steeply rising "unknown" pool %. Unknown=US, china, etc.?

She actually thinks the only way people trade/transact Bitcoins is by trading private keys? Oh wow.  Shocked

Someone should walk in and blow all of their minds by talking about trading Colored Coins (particularly one's that represent fiat currencies) on a decentralized exchange!  Grin They think they have it all figured out and they're still years behind on the technology!

Actually she raises a good point that a lot of muggles don't get about the distinction between the private key and the coins stored at its corresponding address.  Me sending you coins via the network is technically (and probably legally) distinct from me giving you a private key.  This distinction is something regulators need to grok fully before they can do their job.  

They're trying to buy all the coins. 
We must not let them.

Who cares about cooptus nonsense? Is this a longest informercial on gov airways or what?

For anyone interested, it's Coeptis that the lawyer was talking about.  I had to Google it to find some info on it.

It's interesting, as I remember the whole e-Gold fiasco and how the US Government eventually shut it down.  Not sure if Douglas Jackson still has enough clout to resurrect something like this.  Why would we trust something like this again?

It is an interesting situation. If there is an identity attached to the private key, it is like giving someone the password to your online banking account. If there is no identity attached to the private key then it is similar to an off-chain transaction. Ultimately there is some interesting money laundering potential with trading private keys.

They were pretty mind blown but they've totally glossed over it now! Damn it. Charlie, tell them about decentralized exchanges!!!!

Edit: Oh man, why oh why didn't he tell them that cryptocurrencies could represent fiat currencies! They'd have exploded!

I think we need to simplify it for the regulators, not make it more complicated (with discussion around colored coins).  Or else these regulations will take forever to draft/approve/publish and be overly complicated to follow and comply with.

Also I'm not sure that Panel 2 has the right mix of folks to be commenting on how bitcoins should be classified (commodity, currency, etc.), nor taxed/treated at the State level.

That was probably the motivation to create Litecoin in the first place!
