Re: Bitcoin-Central, first exchange licensed to operate as a bank. This is HUGE
I usually don't agree with The Bible, but i agree with TheBible that's here. 
However, it was inevitable that some of the "Bitcoin community" would make deals and sell out to the bankers, because they naturally want the lifestyle the bankers have. That's only possible by joining the establishment, rather than being a revolutionary...
The real fun will begin when the major mining pools and commercial mining operators will start making deals with the government regulators and being bought up by the banks...
That's actually when Bitcoin will be full-speed ahead to the past or "square 1"... In any case, might be an interesting saga for a long time.

I hate central bank charades as much as the next guy, but how the hell is bitcoin supposed to grow without interfacing with any other financial systems?
