Good, bad, or otherwise, I think the KYC compliance is to be expected when corporate whales get involved.

However, the irony is not lost on me that compliance & derivatives can come in the same package. Cryptocurrency is already volatile enough, do we want financial markets creating even more volatility?

I think it's good for more widespread adoption of blockchain. How I see it, if big bankers get more invested in blockchain, it can only help lobbying/regulation interests in the short term. I just hope I don't hear stories of people mortgaging their home for cyptoderivatives.
