I like this idea, although I'm still a little confused by it. Is this like setting up a quasi mutual fund that we all invest in? How would we be protected from theft & what not? This sounds like setting up a Corp. in EVE and then some guy runs off with all the money..lol. I'm interested though..

It's more like an international trade union than a Corp. It's groups of Corps who agree to a common interest and form a sort of union of Corps, but a syndicate is not just Corps, it's individuals, it's all forms of organizations in the union.

If you can find a single professional corporation in all of bitcoin I would be surprised. What I see are hacks and people scraping by as a 'personal service' at best. Just because they sling a webpage up doesn't mean it's run professionally.

Let's start where we are: Learning how to be professionals.

Define "professional"? If you're saying many of the current corporations have problems you're right they do, but this isn't going to change if we don't reorganize. If Bitcoin is important to you, then you join a syndicate which allows you to legally and politically coordinate your moves within your corporation, as an individual, within your church, school, or workplace or whatever. Even something basic like talking points for PR would be something which could be distributed in the form of a newsletter to individuals within the investment syndicate.
