Anyone who figures out a way to open a legit, US based btc exchange that doesn't require wire transfers or silly proof identity nonsense will be extremely wealthy. I love bitcoin and think it's the most important invention since the internet. However, the ways in which to purchase bitcoin have become more and more shady especially since the collapse of mt.gox. I should not have to wire money into some sketchy bank account in some random country to purchase btc. Obviously meeting up with someone is the best way to purchase however for people like me who live in the sticks, there aren't too many bitcoiners around who are willing to buy and sell.

No US Based BTC will be around for long by not following regulations. It's a FINCEN requirement for silly proof of identity nonsense. It sucks but welcome to the Unites States of Regulation.

This. We all know if it moves, tax it, if it keeps moving regulate it. ( something like that cant recall the exact quote on that )
