I just saw the
http://coincenter.org announcement. Jerry Brito is one of the best advocates for Bitcoin in Washington, DC. I hope this organization is separate from the Foundation.
Many people on here will discuss all kinds of conspiracy theories about the Bitlicense and other regulatory issues. The fact is one of the main reasons is complaints from within Bitcoin users themselves. Huge numbers of complaints have been generated by Bitcoin businesses and things like Bitinstant, Satoshi Dice Investments, pirateat40, Mt. Gox, Bitfloor, BFL, etc. have all generated complaints to regulators. The regulators don't know what to do so they propose all kinds of screwed up regulation. Since this stuff is going to happen anyway Jerry Brito is probably the best person to deal with it.
Listen to Jerry Brito
