From your blog:<br /><br />"Unfortunately, the author here comes down on the side of regulation, both domestic and international."<br /><br />I apologize if the article was misleading, but I would like to point out that the conclusion of the paper is decidedly not pro-regulation. The entire undertone of the paper is anti-regulation. <br /><br />As per the conclusion section of the paper, the conclusion is that U.S.-based entities in the digital currency space should make every effort to comply with regulations that weren’t designed to apply to them because the Justice Department seems willing to bend over backwards to MAKE these regulations apply. In this regard, the article serves as a warning, a signpost to people trying to start digital currencies (i.e, it’s possible and viable, you just have to be careful how you structure it).Jon Matonishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111660030028727950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595455932654799850.post-73428223837709084632010-03-19T21:47:14.333+01:002010-03-19T21:47:14.333+01:00His final statement that the U.S. should take a wa...His final statement that the U.S. should take a wait-and-see point of view is reasonably good. The paper is chocked full of details. However, his facts regarding e-gold and some statements are incorrect so they will need a fixin' :-)<br />MarkMark Herpelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16570867131790072001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595455932654799850.post-86578741111512063342010-03-19T01:08:52.426+01:002010-03-19T01:08:52.426+01:00I've downloaded the .pdf, but haven't yet ...I've downloaded the .pdf, but haven't yet mustered the courage to read Dr. Tucker's paper given his position on regulation. How disappointing.<br /><br />I'd be interested and tremendously excited if someone can actually figure out how to create a market-driven, anonymous currency that is truly independent of any political sphere. Otherwise, I'm afraid its shelf-life will be short, especially within the United States.Patrick Hobbsnoreply@blogger.com
