You guys are kidding right? I used to work at Subway when I was younger. If I work on a coin does that mean that the sandwich industrial complex has a stranglehold over my operations?

I get the whole "screw the banks" mentality, I really do. I'm right there with you. But if you think that the people who work/run/created the financial system haven't already been involved in the bitcoin world you are crazy. Do you think that bankers would prefer not to play around in an unregulated arena? C'mon. If there are profits to be made then the people everyone is rallying against are already involved. Bitcoin isn't really a secret. Satoshi could have worked at Goldman Sachs for all you know. Someone prove that he didn't. There are mysterious people sitting on massive stacks of BTC all over the world. You really think the best and brightest of the financial world are all sitting on the sidelines crying about how they wish they understood how to set up a wallet?

These guys here are up front with where these guys worked. People who worked at banks are going to be involved/already are. All this big talk of boycotting the whole project and whatnot solely based on a bank being mentioned is stupid talk. You are just conditioning the next wave of coin makers to be deceptive, anonymous, and guarded with their information. But maybe that's what you guys want. Just know that that is what you are going to get.
