This is pretty much the best news regarding bitcoin we could have gotten from the government.
Are you out of your fucking mind???
No I agree, it is the best news US peoples could have hoped for. Bitcoin is now explicitly legal and will be regulated like real money (we knew it was already real money, but now the "normal business community" will as well). I've long said that Amazon will not accept Bitcoin until the legal uncertainty is removed. This just removed it.
There is good and bad in this news, but the net effect is extremely good. Bitcoin demolishes all resistance, and just entered the next phase of its evolution.
