Hey, If you live in the USA, you have to adhere to their laws. { In some countries, you get jailed, if you drop litter on the street }

In the land of the Free, you cannot sell Bitcoins anonymously { Big Brother has to know, Who you are, How much you have, how much tax you owe them.... } So much for being free. Wink

No wonder Bill Gates wants a "Currency" that are not linked to terrorism and drugs { I wonder, what in his opinion, did those people use, before there were Bitcoins? }

No wonder more and more companies are moving their operations away from the USA, the regulations are killing innovation.

Good luck BurtW .... I did not know you, but your opinions and contributions here was legendary. Wink

I thought the USA had the most lax regulations and taxes in the world.

Not at all. I've never lived in the US but many people leave that country due to regulatory and tax reasons.

overhere (germany) gains on bitcoin are taxfree after holding your coins for one year. i once thought it would be a good idea to provide a service for americans to let them move to germany for a year or so to save taxes. what a stupid idea that was i figured out when i learned, that u.s. Citizens have to pay taxes no matter where they live. in europe you pay taxes where you live.

Even worse is the US internet gambling laws. Pretty draconian compared to other countries in the so-called "free world".
