One of person working on an upcoming "real-time" exchange, which will be tied to Buttercoin, recently told me that he is glad that ED raided the house and closed down these "butcher shops."

Within a week or two we will know what the officials think of bitcoin and bitcoin exchanges.

It amazes me how some people said the event turned out great, and now I read that it was all about money and trading. Reason I did not attend was because of the "unexpected" BTC crash days before the event!
