  Quistions:

  Is it necessary for Bitcoin to be the symbol of some kind of idea?

  Do you think any system (centralized or decentralized) could resolve human problems like: freedom, justice, poverty and war?

  +1 about NY recent move

  Let's hear Andreas and Tucker talk about Lawsky / NY Bitlcense. It is important and still not enough clearly discussed. It is a declaration of war and we should do/talk more about/against it.

  And of course, I'd like to hear Andreas repeating how important hardware wallets are... I am not sure he knows we are working on open source smart card based hardware wallet but I am sure he would be pleased by that initiative :)

  I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on LTBcoin as well as their plans on battling Bitlicense and how they think this might affect our industry (pros and cons).

  It seems like Bitcoin is moving into its Wall Street phase. Is there any way to protect Bitcoin from the kind of major price manipulations that have been taking place with Gold, Silver, Libor, etc.? We've already apparently seen some price tampering from Mt. Gox, and they are a minor player in comparison to the pros on Wall Street. Thanks!

  Is the traceability of transactions on the blockchain more of an asset or a liability?

  Lots of privacy advocates have been pushing for changes to bits and pieces of the bitcoin protocol to reduce things like correlation attacks, reused address analysis, and resistance to laws requiring tying personally identifiable information to specific transactions (bit license for example).

  However I think there are situations where this verifiability and open transaction log can be an immense asset. Think of things were open records and open ledgers are a good thing. For example PACs (here in the USA), charities, and other such organizations who have a fiduciary responsibility to spend funds in a certain manner (DACs may help address this, but how do you audit a DAC w/o compromising privacy?). And don't forget Governments (sunlight is the best disinfectant) and Banks (bitcoin can't kill banks, and what doesn't kill you...).

  What I am getting at is that the blockchain has the potential for a publicly audit able transaction log for some organizations where public records are or should be a requirement, And the dilemma I see is providing the needed privacy to individuals not subject to discloser vs organizations where disclosure is a public good.

  @Andreas, what can you say about the boundary between machine and human interaction in the DAC concept? Just how automated can DACs actually be? Are high levels of automation always desirable?
