I'm a little wary of them connecting this to exploited children. That is a classic pretext these days, second only to fear mongering about terrorism.

perhaps i'm a bit too naive here
but watching silicon valley already being involved into the game i'd suggest that
they're going some way between to pretend everything's under control while at the same time not harming these business opportunities too much.
that could at least be an explanation that btc isn't mentioned directly in every article.

edit: or am i wrong about silicon valley being that important?

In any case, we are ready and waiting. Bitcoin is fearless.

Unfortunately also classless and full of get rich quick schemers. We really need a mass adoption quick to level the playing field. It's harder to call bitcoin a "scam that only pot head nerds use" when political figures, movie stars and major businesses are using it too.

Over all I'm positively surprised:

What are the threats and opportunities associated with this new payment

Didn't expect to even see this word on their agenda.

there is some pro bitcoin lobbying going on already.
when they took down LR they had a press conference and towards the end of that press conference they said they are not aiming at btc and they see the opportunities. some of those guys hopefully hold some coins...

Well, it's expected. Look at the speakers. They are not policemen. They are not politicians. They are the guys working for those who pull the strings, the core enemies of Bitcoin: the FED and its proxies.

Let them try to link Bitcoin with pedophiles. Like USD is not the official currency in the black market. In any case, we are ready and waiting. Bitcoin is fearless.

That's so weird. "Bitcoin" isn't mentioned anywhere in the entire body. It's either obviously talking about bitcoin and almost purposely trying not to mention it, or it's not talking about bitcoin and there is a PedoCoin from 4chan we're not aware of yet.

Innuendo is more difficult to refute than direct accusations.

I hope they obtained the appropriate rights to use that image. It's one of Casascius's I think?

Sad thing is this is from the free to use Pictures of the http://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-for-press page.

So (even if very very little) we helped them in preparing this event. Embarrassed

"But, if your goal is to steal credit cards and launder the proceeds through a virtual world, you most surely can create another digital identity to do so. And that’s the trick for law enforcement: How do we resolve those alternate identities?" - attributed to Jason Thomas, of Thomson Reuters.

AKA Credit card security is shit and no one in government or private industry actually gives a damn about protecting identity ownership of the common man.

It feels like very few positives can come out of this. It looks like they are going to push a heavily negative stance. Most probably full of political spin.

Another one of the speakers:

Financial Crimes (TFFC) at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Emery and the TFFC staff
work to identify and address vulnerabilities in the global financial system that are exploited for
money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

SuperTax on exchanges for conversion of Fiat to BTC or any digital currency will be an easy yet effective regulation for now.
Well the community seems to have that covered, p2p exchange.

Give us something more challenging IMF...

That's it for me. I'm done. I just flushed all my dollar bills down the toilet because I found out that murder for hire, prostitution and drugs are purchased with dollars more than any other currency. I won't be a part of the dollar system any more!

Hmm. What is he doing in a World Bank forum?, and look at what this site thinks of him...
http://bringvarvarahome.org/ernie_allen.php

+1

is it because of the story with pedo-links in the blockchain?
i would understand if DEA or something similar sent a guy because of SR.
but i don't get that connection.
it really just screams smear campaign to me.
(this guy simply doesn't fit into that list with all the other financial people)

or he's just arranging the aftershowparty
