They ruined bitcointalk and no one is willing to do something about it.
People should step up, show some decency, and remove all these stupid scam campaigns from their profiles.
Not because it is mandatory, but because it is the right thing to do.
Tell me about it. I put a recommendation in my sig that I think could be really useful for newcomers, but I'm always wondering if it'll just be seen as another one of those paid ad campaigns, and actually has the opposite effect of what I'm trying to achieve. /shrug
Signature campaigns are the cancer of the bitcointalk. I really hate them.
Why we shouldn't make some "free" bitcoins, from signature campaigns if we can? Most us would be here and would keep posting anyway, but even better if we get paid for that .
Regarding OP, I think bitcoin not going to be run by a bank. Until bitcoin opensource and the development is heavily influenced by the community it would be "too open" for a bank. They would do better by buying up major exchanges.
