We will see another " BitLicense" fiasco, where people contributing to the legislation or rules, will use this platform to futher their own interest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLicense This is why Ripple is part of this ---> https://www.coindesk.com/bitlicense-architect-ben-lawsky-joins-ripple-board For those who does not know Ben Lawsky, he was the New York Superintendent of Financial Services and then he helped formulating the very complicated BitLicense and then he went to work for a company that helped people to apply for this complex process. < So you make it so complex that people have to pay you to help you to apply for a license to use Crypto currencies in your business> So, you create a job for yourself, after you leave your previous work.... ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) The red flags are going up when Ben Lawsky is involved. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

The influence of Joseph Lubin of Ethereum and Ryan Zagone of Ripple will certainly corrupt the task force and make it move according to the advantage of their own platforms.

This two cryptocurrencies’ experts are going to advise task force in a way that will help the growth of cryptocurrency. If you are still thinking that USA governments or New York is going to ban bitcoin then you are deceiving yourself . Any negative comments from governments against bitcoin from now should be consider as FOMO or FUD and that is for them bring bitcoin down to buy cheap.

I don't see how they could do that. We should probably just be happy the task force isn't entirely composed of grumpy old career politicians.

Conflict of interests? Particularly favoring their own projects in detriment of the rest of the space? Sure it beats people that know nothing, but it still warrants attention, from the community. Regulation in general is not good. The more the State meddles in, the less freedom the people ends with...

Regulation in general is not good. The more the State meddles in, the less freedom the people ends with... Of course, there is a large amount of conflict of interest, but then again, I am really not surprised 2 co-founders of another centralized coin are working with the government, but when you think about it, who would be better for the job? Some financial advisors who don't have any real-world knowledge or cryptocurrencies? Out of the current pool of candidates, this isn't too bad. If Ethereum and Ripple grow with the regulations, the whole crypto market will grow as well, including Bitcoin. Think about this before you think this is the end of the world. Who else would make a suitable candidate other than these 2? Financial advisors? Politicians? To be fair though, Ben has pretty skewed morals, and what he did with Bitlicense was bad for the crypto industry on a whole.

I also think so.Whatever they people were not,but in any case for the crypto space at least new York, they just have to do something.Later on, we will judge by actions and deeds whether their work was effective or not.

The BitLicense was a blow to the NY Bitcoin operators, because it placed a complex and expensive barrier to entry for anyone that wanted to use Crypto currencies in NY.
The BitLicense is expensive because there is not enough user demand within NY to justify the time and money you have to spend to get it. This is why a lot of crypto related businesses prefer to ignore NY because it's just not worth the hassle. I can perfectly understand that. NY has been over-regulated for decades. It affects more industries than just that of crypto. I like that businesses ignore NY because it's a clear indication that this state is not competitive compared to the other states. It's losing out and this is how it should be.

In any case, this news might also be good news for speculators looking for which cryptocoins to buy hehe. Ethereum and Ripple hehehe.
Joseph Lubin and Ryan Zargone would certainly try to kill the competition.

centralized entities attract each other, so obviously they prefer dealing with those cryptocurrencies that are more centralized and can be controlled and regulated rather than dealing with something they can not control because it is decentralized. additionally these coins have owners, companies,... which obviously work with the authorities whereas bitcoin doesn't have anyone, there is no owner or a "bitcoin company" to want to participate in a task force like this!
Is there a company that runs ethereum? I mean there is to the point of a foundation but the same could be said about the core team couldn't it? no because the core team didn't run a bitcoin ICO to raise a ton of money and they didn't premine bitcoin to get a sudden 75 million bitcoins. on top of that if core wanted to suddenly roll back the blockchain they could not because they have no control over bitcoin. all of these things had already happened in ethereum!

Well, if you read my previous posts, you would have noticed that I also mentioned a controversial character, called Ben Lawsky, the architect of the BitLicense. He is now connected to the Ripple team and this guy only concentrate on his on financial interests and would disadvantages all other Crypto currencies to further his own interest. His influence and connections from being the former New York Superintendent of Financial Services, would help him to boost Ripple and also to make it difficult for the competition to compete on a level playing field. Let's just say, Bitcoin will definitely not flourish in any scenario where Ben Lawsky is involved.

I don't really see much wrong with it. Whereas Ripple is certainly a centralized and regulated pro-bank project, what's wrong with Ethereum? Moreover, it's good that people in the administration will be at least favorable to cryptocurrencies at all (and the Ethereum guy can push pro-decentralization, no?). After all, much worse people could be appointed, both from the crypto sphere like Craig Faketoshi and, even worse, some stock manager/Paypal guys who think Bitcoin's a financial pyramid and a thing drug dealers use. While Ripple and Ethereum might get an advantage out of this situation, I think there'll be good stuff for the crypto market in general.

It seems to me that first of all, the central government of the country should change its opinion on the cryptocurrency. If Congress and the President of the United States express their dissatisfaction with the cryptocurrency market, and in particular about Bitcoin, this will not bode well for the whole country.

You will not see anything wrong if you are an Ethereum or Ripple bagholder hehe. However, corruption and human greed is real. I reckon I would only trust them on their appointments if they sell all their coins and leave Ethereum and Ripple.
