NY DFS RELEASES PROPOSED BITLICENSE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR VIRTUAL CURRENCY FIRMS
Today 17 July 2014, the New York State Department of Financial Services released a PROPOSAL for a regulatory framework which if implemented would have dramatic and widespread impact on the Bitcoin community.

I think this is the beginning of a slippery slope that need some pushback from the community.
There are two very inspiring arguments why this proposal is a bad idea
1) Bitcoin in the Beltway: Andreas M. Antonopoulos - The Future of Cryptocurrency

2) Bitcoin vs. Political Power: The Cryptocurrency Revolution - Stefan Molyneux at TNW Conference

There are probably many more that can be added. A face book page has just been created, Opposed to Bitlicense
