Hody made it clear that the purpose of regulation in the digital currency industry is about protecting consumers, restricting money laundering and making sure taxes are properly collected.

I believe above part summarizes basically the governments' viewpoints. If all above are satisfied when you deal with bitcoin as a company, I think there will be nothing to ban for using BTC at their services at all.

On the other hand , when you try yo comply with this possible regulative stuff, you should make balance with customer privacy. Otherwise, most of current BTC community dont use your services.

If BTC has to be mass-adopted worldwide and used for everyday TXs, it need to be seen as a no-threat from Nation States. Any medium threathning colletion of tax revenue or facilitating financing of terrorism or insurgencies cannot be tolerated by any Country. If this "peace" can achieved only relinquishing some customer privacy; this maybe need ASAP...after all, we all-ready give away scores of tx details everyday with Credit and Debit cards, Bank wires, etc...so what the bad if BTC if a little less anonymous.
