“Warwick Business School’s professor Jon Rushman, a former BlackRock managing director, says: ‘It is a little bit of a hysterical reaction from the US authorities. There are concerns of Bitcoin being used in illegal ways, but unless there is more substantial evidence of this I don’t think there is any reason to shut down the main Bitcoin exchange. US dollars, Russian rubles and euros have all been used by criminals, but nobody is suggesting their central banks should be closed down and their governors imprisoned.’ Rushman calls for more ‘intelligent debate about Bitcoin and its future’.”
