LOL, sadly I'm not familiar with the Bezos thing. It sounds like a riot though. And yea, the primary concern is not so much the legitimacy of this app but the potential troubles it could cause for the valid 'owners' of Bitcoin.
Which, brings to mind some other questions. In order to avoid other app ninjas in the future both trademark and patent wise, is there a way to trademark/patent
Bitcoin in a way the limits the amount of control the US gov would have over it?
I.e possible to register it as a community project and still be afforded the same protections? Maybe reg as aco-op type deal?
I am completely lost at that point. Will give a close business attorney friend of mine a call and see if he has any insight.
It's nice how a system forces you to conform and centralize, because if you keep it decentralized someone else will centralize it for you and take it away.
Oh, the joys of 'freedom'.
ahhh, painful irony..
Is there anyone about like Gavin or other Dev or someone with some business law smarts that could chime in on what options the community has if any?
Would it even be possible to register in a way that provides protection to the Bitcoin itself without putting it in danger of being gov regulated?
