Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is also weighing in on the hearing, saying that it has no plans to regulate the currency.
“Although the Federal Reserve generally monitors developments in virtual currencies and other payments system innovations, it does not necessarily have authority to directly supervise or regulate these innovations or the entities that provide them to the market,” Bernanke wrote in a letter to the committee.

Looking forward to attending the DC hearings in person tomorrow!

Anyone else going to be there?

Jeff that is super exciting. Is it possible to record it? Put it online?

BTW: I've got to say it's awfully tempting to think that Ben Bernanke's comments might mean the government might be looking to GIVE him the authority to supervise or regulate. :-)

Not that I really mind so much (a little, just a little).

I am baffled.  That should push the coin to $800.  I was hoping for something more negative so I could buy more.

I was surprised with Mr. Bernanke's remarks.

Can't wait for bitcoin to bring an end to his cartel.
