Bitcoins: Bonanza for the regulators?

Given all the noise about Bitcoins I can't resist another post today.  Regulators are apparently jostling to be among the first to regulate Bitcoin businesses as money transmitters following the announcement by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.  Assuming that no federal regulatory framework is proposed, I expect a handful of the states looking for "impact regulation" will be the first to propose specific regulations.  But then I also expect that eventually, the federal government will preempt all state laws and regulations involving Bitcoin. Until then, Bitcoin will provide a rich source of laws and regulations (and potentially fees and taxes) for state governments.

  1. When I thought about the way things have been recently, i owe my thanks to God for letting me find this amazing personality, i mailed Mr. alex roughly 2 months now, I was actually very uncertain about investing, very scared because i was also low on cash.I gave it my all, my first investment of $2,000 two weeks ago brought me $ 29,230 last week, and what intrigues me the most is the way him handles he partners, i recommend him too to my friend jeff, after trading with him, his testimonies have let me come here to attest for him. We are happy to meet a professional in you. I am proud to recommend him to any person who has a passion for trading, meet a good mentor and get good fortunes.Contact this veteran at: totalinvestmentcompany@gmail.com
