ThickAsThieves: dignork you can specify a new payout address

ThickAsThieves: lol 4600 coins bid at 110.00

ThickAsThieves: they are just sent back to you, no?

ThickAsThieves: but the coins arent even cleaned

ThickAsThieves: Lawsky: Hard to put the genie back in the bottle. I can't predict the future but Bitcoin is certainly a new powerful technology that holds a lot of promise for the future if we can mitigate some of the potential negatives like money laundering.

ThickAsThieves: "Many bitcoin enthusiasts think that the widespread adoption of some form of cryptocurrency is an inevitability and that unfriendly governments such as China and Russia will ultimately be powerless to stop it. Do you share this view?"

ThickAsThieves: it's a protest bubble!

ThickAsThieves: lo

ThickAsThieves: seriously, at this point i wanna beat him down just because

ThickAsThieves: the loss can be as large as their derp

ThickAsThieves: bug they were sending coins more than once

ThickAsThieves: how is it masterful?

ThickAsThieves: asnwering a diff q

ThickAsThieves: lawsky: "I think new, careful regulations, especially related to preventing money laundering, will make banks more comfortable with Bitcoin-related activity over time."

ThickAsThieves: ;;ticker --market mtgox

ThickAsThieves: well this is a guy that has an arsenal of red tape and idiocy at his disposal

ThickAsThieves: i think he likes bitcoin much more than he'll let on

ThickAsThieves: i like him too

ThickAsThieves: "there is no evidence that money-launderers , South American Drug Barrons or international terrorist have , of have any intention of EVER using Bitcoin ( The transaction logs on the blockchain will render them traceable ) So they will stick with the good old fashioned Dollar ( latest estimates is that there is over 1.5trillion Dollars involved world-wide ) any comments Ben ?"

ThickAsThieves: well the first reply shows it

ThickAsThieves: it's more putting the topic on the table to see what he says

ThickAsThieves: well

ThickAsThieves: couldnt think of anything i actually wanted to know from him

ThickAsThieves: i did ask "Would you agree that money laundering is now impossible to stop due to inter-cryptocurrency exchanges and a global market outside of the US?"

ThickAsThieves: "you are doing that too much. try again in 8 minutes."

ThickAsThieves: or 10 or whatever
