What do you mean by "all bitcoin companies" ?

This regulation would apply just as normal financial service regulation - to companies that make bitcoin/money transfers on behalf of others, as a payment service provider (like paypal is regulated); that hold bitcoins on behalf of others (like any deposit-accepting bank is regulated) or those that buy/sell bitcoins from public (like currency exchanges are regulated).

That's better, but still ridiculous.
