All these things point into the direction of ending anonymity for new entrants into the bitcoin  world for once and ever. What will come next? Suggestions to split the bitcoin client as we know it into many different functional apps: wallet, transaction serializer, de-serializer, validator, miner, .....? Followed by the constitution of a trusted node network? Naturally only available through a well regulated bitcoin foundation. And only for the ones capable of paying remarkable licensing fees, including fees for security-auditing? And so on...

In the end we will face a 100 percent trace- and track able world currency recording any kind of financial action and interaction history of contemporary and future mankind.

Me, at least want to make it absolutely clear: that sudden in public articulated interest of GS directors into bitcoin is a bad sign, definitely.

You are inferring an amazing amount from ..... no information. At least wait until circle announce their services before calling them out on them.

I support whatever traceability there currently is, no more no less

I thought all you liberty loving, no-government loving, freedom fighters all hated official and governmental 'interference'.

I guess your ideals are as cheap as your words, and easily bought off Smiley

Exactly I love government

Goldman Sachs getting into Bitcoin = the Fed getting into Bitcoin.

lets wait and see. iam glad that we have this firm. they decided to do the regulation first and THEN start their business, thats new in the cryptoworld  Wink

well once they feel that they can implement legal controls, then it's safe to buy BTC.  Ultimately, regular users are then left with a payment system exacty like PayPal that is effectively owned by eg. Goldman Sachs.  Other technologies(Color Coins) are also going to introduce major capacity problems which will bring the necessity of centralization closer and more imminent.  There will be a long drawn out PR process where various groups will attempt to parlay a centralized, controlled technology as P2P.  Ripple was just a taste of what is likely to happen soon.

I think that may have been what happened with the recent run up.  There was a lot of theorizing about some of the actions and statements of Bitcoin Foundation people who appear to have been advocating new kinds of controls in the network.  Their motives were under heavy examination and I think some of the questions and insinuations were certainly warranted.

Their choice of person for this role tells me theyre about to do something really sleazy.  There is no reason to be cheering this on.

A big extrapolation ..... might play out, might not. Look what happened to Ripple. Nothing.

I'm sick of the hype. Bitcoin has always been instant gratification. They just got a new board member from Wal-Mart and some investment firm though

I suspect the next wave of the media on Circle will be to describe a vision or game plan. Right now all I've seen is how they're getting a lot of investment and interesting people...

They are hiring. So I expect product or service announcement will be the next stage and that's where my curiosity lies.

The more companies we can get with backing from established financial companies means the more this movement will continue to flourish. These people are experts at investing. When they invest in virtual currencies it means there is a very good chance the virtual currency market will only grow.

I'm hodling most of my investment in virtual currency.
