the old laws

the current government
pankkake: oh, I
thought it was still gov only

tobacco wants

they can
nubbins`: current rules say you can buy from (a)
the gov't or (b) private growers, who are allowed
to grow for a max of 2 people

the sense
that anyone can open an industrial-scale weed grow-op

the PIF

nubbins`: fuck
this, i'm pan-frying some cod
nubbins`: i
think part of
the problem is insisting on dressing such
things up as securities
TAT_Investments: and if it is whether
the rules should be applied differently
nubbins`: agreed on
the crowd-funded profit sharing
nubbins`: join
the asicminer co-op, or
the whatever-the-fuck co-op
nubbins`: suppose
these
things were presented not as securities but as co-ops
TAT_Investments: this license fee should not apply
to bitcoin businesses
the same
TAT_Investments: the license fees are derived from
the Euro market as a whole, for example
nubbins`: which is why we're all sitting around waiting for someone else
to do it :(
nubbins`: problem being
the enormous amounts of money and manpower required
nubbins`: well, with germany's "private currency"
thing,
that might be workable
there
TAT_Investments: and in is opinion
there are many ways
to circumvent limitations with
their
takeon bitcoin
TAT_Investments: for example, i spoke with
the german law guy about
this
topic
nubbins`: i have a feeling
that most countries in
the world would be against
the idea of an unlicensed exchange
nubbins`: however, given
time,
that'll change
nubbins`: they seem
to be ambivalent about btc so far
nubbins`: pankkake:
the canadian government didn't like demonoid either
pankkake: actually sites like demonoid did block
the US. it wasn't enough
nubbins`: …you WOULD have
to block
the US
nubbins`: because sweden requested
that cambodia give him up
nubbins`: but what country would harbour a foreign national
that
the US government really, really wants
to get
their hands on?
nubbins`: i disagree, but whether
they have
the right is irrelevant;
they act as if
they do
nubbins`: well, with might comes right,
they say
TAT_Investments: businesses need
to be able
to raise money and
tor would limit
that
too much
nubbins`: especially given
the propensity for public-web exchanges
to get scared of regulation and shutter
their operations
nubbins`: and i
think
that businesses directly involved with btc wouldn't see
the move
to
tor as much of a jump
nubbins`: but i mean, you see very few businesses
that are not directly btc-related being listed on btc exchanges
CheckDavid: Just because I want a platform like BTC doesn't mean I want
to over
take
the market, or do any of
that.
CheckDavid: kakobrekla, have you considered
that maybe I want a private exchange for example? And just want an online platform
that can process and allocate equity and stock
to certain accounts?
nubbins`: it could be argued
that businesses worth listing wouldn't list on any btc exchange
nubbins`: well, it depends on
the kind of business, i
think
CheckDavid: kakobrekla, I
think you guys are limited =/
