While I'm not a financial expert by any means I do believe that you should allow bitcoin to be traded. I cant see any reason that I shouldn't be able to do what I want with my own money. bitcoin may give me the opportunity to grow my financial portfolio or it may crash but I'm willing to take that risk. I am just one person but there are a lot of other everyday people out there that feel the way I do. many of us have lost faith in the us dollar and we are looking for something to give us some peace of mind if things go bad and we believe bitcoin is it. Thank you for your time in considering this matter.
