then it can work

but yea simply buying a crypto whose sole purpose is anonymity raises red flags

Which is why they made Monaro illegal real quick

its illegal?

for exchanges

Yep

wikipedia doesn't say anything AFAICT

I could have sworn I got an email from Bittrex about it.

individual exchanges deciding not to participate makes a lot more sense

Like, because of regulatory issues.

the KYC AML laws are deliberately vague

yep

but they are vague

So, practically illegal if not explicitly

so it is usually a risk assessment for an MSB (money services business)

I actually tried starting an exchange back in the day

this is one of the things that red pilled me to being a libertarian lol

the regulations are fing impossible

lol, yep. MSB is not the way to go.

basically you are always guessing

so you need to have a law firm to tell you what they think

but they don't either know

Unless you accept a 5% chance of going to prison

so it is just risk assessments

yea exactly lol

I was considering going out of the country preemptively

(and never returning)

but I just gave up

A regular Roger Ver

haha

oh don't trigger me

lol

he and mcafee should share a cell

all imma say

I've been trying to create a parallel judicial system on top of Bitcoin.

a regular ancap we have here

It would govern things like magic the gathering rules and game types inside of multiplayer games like Halo.

lol

I'm not an ancap. I'm a machiavellian

is that a kind of anarchy I don't know about 😛

(I'm not an expert on various ideologies )
