I want to ask Mike Hearn, Peter Todd, and Gavin what kind of wisdom and order they hope government regulations would bring bitcoin. I'm sick and tired of hearing Mike Hearn's stupid ideas about red-listing and using national passports as trust certificates for bitcoin.
They would say: "If you a serious, you would do other things than arguing." Then a paid shill from the Bitcoin foundation comes in and adds you should supply code or start you own alt. (Obvious all your code for the Bitcoin project would be rejected because you are no "core dev".)
Or they say "miners decide, they control the development", which means 5 pool operators (making $30.000 till $100.000 every day!!) decide the future of bitcoin.
Funny thing is, most of the big pools are run by core developers like Slush (Slushs Pool) and Luke-Jr (Eligius).
They are fucking hypocrites and liars.
They don't care about bitcoin, they laugh about it, they just care about their income und their millions of $$$$ or Euros.
