I know he has done some decent things but no way do I want him associated with bc again. Not after the way he left (still holding our donations btw) and the subsequent demolishing of xlb not a week after joining and declaring himself the main dev. He's like the Charlie Sheen of crypto. His reputation is tarnished and we would lose a lot of credibility by welcoming him back.
And to not get back on the iconic train too much, what are everyone's thoughts on this
http://www.coindesk.com/netherlands-issues-bitcoin-warning-banks-financial-institutions/Nout Wellink, our former president of DNB (he was replaced in 2011 already) was a typically oldskool banker with an obvious aversion against any type of new technology. The guy is also 73 years old, so he should keep his mouth shut about digital currency.
The new president is clearly not only younger, but is more openminded and is thinking outside of the box anno 2014. His vision about todays economy is a lot more realistic, so I'm not surprised he's keeping the door open to digital currency. That doesn't relief him of his duty to warn banks about investing or working with BTC. It surely is a high risk product when values can rise or lower +10% within a day.
