Child porn, child porn, child pron, chlid ponr! Think of the children, damnit!
Next i would like to hear something useful from the experts on transparent funding of Al-Qaeda.
So i hope Mr. Murck implements an useful escrow function on all government spendings.

Ya know, one thing people haven't talked about.  As Bitcoin increasingly becomes stronger and stronger competition, we might even see the added benefit of charges being made by Banks and credit card companies getting reduced!.  This would become a win-win situation for the everyday consumer.

They are referring to the application of the FINcen guidelines as applying only to the exchanges, rather than to the miners and exchanges.... interesting.
There hasn't been any application of that guidance yet to enforce.  It seems that now that the US DOJ has been able to nab almost 1% of all bitcoin into their coffers, they want to keep it in the US.
A historical footnote Silk road saves the USA by getting caught within it.

Feeling a bit better about it all now, started off on the negative, but now it seems like most are in agreement that the existing systems in place are for the most part good enough as they already are.  So I'm less concerned about some extreme clamping down on Bitcoin now.

same, from what i heard today, btc is not going away, ever

I like what I hear from Murck and Allaire. Even what the Child porn guy said was reasonable. Now Brito is on...

Consider the "silk road takedown".  DPR can do anything he wants so long as he is increasing his bitcoin hoard on USA ground, he even allegedly hires a hitman, the government doesn't stop it even though they are on the Silk Road server and can see everything happening.

When do they step in?  When he orders forged travel documents that might jeopardize their ability to seize the 170K bitcoins by being outside their jurisdiction.  Someone more cynical might have some questions about that.
When do they step in? When they can grab his laptop while he is logged in using a public wifi. After they have created some evidence of him "hiring a hitman" so they can say "look, a criminal" instead of "look, ebay without draconian rules".

No, you missed the point.  He was doing those things all along, public wifi, allegedly hiring a hitman was long before.
They didn't nab him until he had bought documents that would let him travel.  They even waited until just the moment he received them... That was the line they couldn't let him cross.
Its about the money.
They let him generate more income long after the hit was ordered (whether or not he actually ordered any hit or not, they didn't intervene in that).
