They're closing in boys:

>"Tackling terrorist financing risks linked to virtual currencies: to prevent their abuse for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes, the Commission proposes to bring virtual currency exchange platforms under the scope of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive, so that these platforms have to apply customer due diligence controls when exchanging virtual for real currencies, ending the anonymity associated with such exchanges;"
This meddling under the guise of terrorism is terrible in general and especially terrible for bitcoin.
No anonymity defeats the entire point of having them.
Fuck.

It's about taxes AND anonymity. One thing's for sure, it has nothing to do with terrorists.
