Re: New York hearing on virtual currencies Day 1 videos
"But Mr. Lawsky said such companies would still need to show they are following anti-money-laundering rules, because, "if there's a choice between preventing money laundering and innovation, we're always going to choose squelching money-laundering first."
That must be the most disingenuous BS statement I've read in a long time. It would be nice to see one of the presenters throw in a mention of HSBC and JPMorgan et al and ask the regulators to explain why they allow the too big to bail criminals openly get away with money laundering and in particular drug cartel money laundering.

You've got to look at who is speaking and then decide on probability of anyone dissing HSBC and JPMorgan ...... 0%
Ditto on this.
We should have had Andreas Antonopolous in the sessions, he wouldnt have pulled any punches.
He's also a fantastic communicator who explains not only how bitcoin works but also the future benefits. Most of the people in session 2 seemed to have a sketchy idea of what bitcoin is, including Charlie Lee, he may be a great coder but we need great communicators in these sessions before law makers and politicians.
Tit-for-tat! Benjamin M. Lawsky's asking the questions. BTW, Lawsky? Seriously? Hell, Carlton Banks should've been on the panel.
