Got surprising message - European Commission Payments Committee asks for opinion on regulating #bitcoin

Has anyone else been approached for an opinion? I couldn't find a list of members for this committee but a closely related body called the Payment System Market Expert Group is full of Visa/Mastercard/Paypal "experts"

Agreed.  Although, I am very interested to see how they decide to approach the issue at all.
