How much larger does the Bitcoin economy have to get ( I believe it's currently ~$30M) before the same money transfer companies will start pushing for them to be regulated.
Remember the cab companies going after UberCab?
How about the Louisiana Funeral Directors going after the monks for making caskets[1]?

- joezydeco 15y agoI'm still new to the bitcoin thing but how can it be regulated?
- sorbus 15y agoWith difficulty. The most likely way I can see is regulation of exchange markets (which could actually be beneficial to the markets, as a way of showing credibility).
- joezydeco 15y agoTrue, but an exchange market could really pop up anywhere at any time and disappear just as quickly. People could liquidate through Craigslist if they really needed to. If the BTCs have enough distribution and momentum, it'll be around a long time.
