Price fixing is a form of manipulation. Not a free market phenomena. I'm against this.
Price fixing gold is one thing. Price fixing a completely transparent digital currency that is already traded publicly on many exchanges is, IMO, not something to be worried about. If it increases merchant confidence, it's a winner in my book.
Feel free to quote me in a year, but I think Silbert is exactly what we need to propel Bitcoin into the mainstream along with increasingly professional exchanges like Stamp and Kraken. Mainstream is SO much closer now Gox is dead.
