The State of Bitcoin?
A ‘Tale of Two Bitcoins’?
6
“It was the best of times, it was the
worst of times, it was the age of
wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the
epoch of incredulity, it was the season
of Light, it was the season of
Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it
was the winter of despair, we had
everything before us, we had nothing
before us, we were all going direct to
heaven, we were all going direct the
other way”
-Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

State of Bitcoin 2015
Eventually mainstream products, companies and industries emerge to
commercialize it; its effects become profound; and later, many people
wonder why its powerful promise wasn’t more obvious from the start.
What technology am I talking about? Personal computers in 1975, the
Internet in 1993, and – I believe – Bitcoin in 2014.
- Marc Andreessen, Andreessen Horowitz

NY BitLicenses 2.0: Bitcoin Still Being
Held to Higher Standard
41State of Bitcoin 2015
• New York’s BitLicense regulatory proposal
widely regarded as a possible framework for
other jurisdictions.
• Ben Lawsky announced the latest revisions
to the draft BitLicense in mid-December.
• Clarified and narrowed which players in the
digital currency industry would be required to
obtain a BitLicense.
• Fewer disclosure and record-keeping
requirements for transactions.
• The proposed record-keeping
requirement for licensees reduced from 10 to
seven years.
• Broader range of financial assets (that
includes virtual currency) that can be
counted towards licensees' capital
requirements.
