So, what is the next step for BTC?
Right now, bitcoin is transitioning from amateur hour to venture capitalist boom. The existing exchanges will likely be pushed out of business by well funded new ventures like Coinsetter, among others, that will be more on the up and up with the legal processes required to remain in business.
This will allow the public the gain confidence in bitcoin as it grows.

How does it make the transformation to untouchable?
Eventually we're going to see two things happen:
1. Decentralized exchange networks will develop. This will make it easier to get money into and out of bitcoin more anonymously than the VC backed exchanges I mentioned before.
2. The need for exchanges will diminish. As the bitcoin economy grows, the need for exchanging USD (or other fiat) into bitcoin will become less and less. Why exchange into USD when you can just directly pay a merchant with BTC? Or, why take fiat and buy BTC with it when you can just get paid directly in BTC for your labor?
Once #2 happens, it's over for governments. Right now, the exchanges are the choke point, and that's where you'll see governments concentrate their actions, but they will ultimately be unsuccessful at stopping the revolutionary change that is happening. And I readily admit that it may not be bitcoin that survives, but some form of decentralized crypto-currency will.

I'd be pissed if he had included me.
Once he refuses to reply directly to your posts he will start excluding you as his new best friend, too. The way you accomplish that achievement is to bitch slap him so many times he goes into a permanent pout.

Yes, you have been consistent with this.
Someone has to play the Wright brothers' role.

No way he ever considers me a friend. Nor should he.
I'm not friends with any of you idiots.

Yes, I do think it should be a crime. Facilitating others to hide their criminal activity is worth suppressing. The law is clear on the requirements for businesses engaging in money transfers for customers, and MtGox filed a fraudulent application seeking to avoid following the law.
Same sort of penalties as Michael Milken was subjected to.

So now you've switched sides? Only through government supervision can trust be developed in bitcoin by the public?
Interesting....

So the government's supervision of bitcoin exchanges which, as you've posted, will create trust in bitcoin by the public, will lead to the government not being able to supervise bitcoin???

Thanks, Poodle, for going on record!

No. I will eat a steak with you. But we won't hug it out as friends when we leave. You'll get in your truck and get the frick.

I would have to say HSBC. But they paid their 2 billion and are square with the house imo.

I don't count anybody here as an enemy. I just don't agree with some people and I think others are somewhat delusional.

HSBC, but that's kind of a dumb question. We don't know what skeletons are still in the Mt.Gox closet, YET!!! HSBC has also paid $1.9Billion in fines, so far
