You seriously want to the state to regulate bitcoin? I think it will be the end of bitcoin. Think about it. Bitcoin became popular because it offers people freedom. States can't regulate financial flows. They can only steal money from people and profit at our expense. I am against any form of state intervention in bitcoin.
I'm sorry, it seems i have not expressed myself correctly. I do not wish for governments to regulate, as in create laws and taxes and rules for bitcoin. I wish for them to say in an official capacity "That's ok, you can use bitcoin (or altcoins), we're not going after you."
That would bring much more publich attention to the system and with it both money and minds willing to help to improve to protocol.
I, too, believe that governments messing around with bitcoin is not a good idea.
