If you want to hear the difference between a reasonable person and a "Bitcoin Wing Nut" listen to Preston Byrne and Stephanie on Let's Talk Bitcoin

He makes perfect sense and then look at all the comments of the story. They claim he is a State lover, not libertarian, and on and on. All he did was describe reality (and I usually can't stand lawyers). I could not find one valid objection to what he said or any explanation as to why he would be wrong for the position he is in.

All the regulations have to do with interfacing Bitcoin with the legacy system that these people say they want eliminated so why should they care? The proposed regs are for people that still want to use banks. Not that I agree with the proposed regs but that is what they are.

I often thought the same, when I am listening to LTB. Sometimes I am not paying much attention, when Stephanie is listening.

Pierre Rochard of the Satoshi Nakamoto institute suggested they are a Bitcoin 2.0 pumper.
