I want to kill you all for being so stupid.
THIS IS NOT A FUCKING "BITCOIN LAW", IT'S REGULATION FOR EXCHANGES ONLY.
Michael Atkins
How can these fuckers regulate something that is beyond there jurisdiction. .....
Michael Atkins
I thought that was a main reason to operate in bitcoin. ....
Gail Marie
IF people abide by their regulation then they can regulate...similar to how we have consented to their other registrations etc ...only this time, we know better :D
Michael Atkins
I get that it's an attempt to set a precedent..... yes we all apparently know better
Scott Duncan
*sigh*
IT IS IN THEIR JURISDICTION! THEY ARE REGULATING EXCHANGES!
Scott Duncan
Why don't you try FUCKING READING THE THING!
Michael Atkins
I did read ..... from what I gather .... they are getting banks and accountants to enforce this policy..... let me read it again before my shit stain gets worse
Scott Duncan
ALL of it has to do with EXCHANGE. NOT COMMERCE!
Michael Atkins
I don't entirely think I understand..... is this an attempt to create joinder through the use of bitcoin ..... it certainly seems to rely on folks registering and rating on others who have not registered
Michael Atkins
Rating = ratting

Exchange
An association, organization, or group of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, that constitutes, maintains, or provides a marketplace or facilities for bringing together purchasers and sellers of Securities or commodities futures.
A security is a written proof of ownership of an investment, usually in the form of shares of stock, which are fractional units of ownership in a company. Commodities are raw materials, like wheat, gasoline, or silver, that are sold either on the spot market, where cash is paid "on the spot," or through futures contracts, where a price for a contract is set in advance, not to be changed even if the market price for the commodity increases or decreases by the time the contract comes due.
