Simon Lelieveldt, a regulatory consultant in payments and banking, contributed to the April 2014 Bitcoin meetup in Amsterdam with a presentation on the relevant legal underpinnings of any payment system (Frijda, 1914). He showed how even playing cards have become payment instruments in the past. Simon compared the bitcoin emergence to e-money discussions of the 1990s and stressed the relevance of good governance to wrap up with the statement that the idea(l) of no regulation for bitcoin would be a useless myth.
