It is really mad world where you can be arrested for selling your own coins to people. And I thought that USA is a land of progress and bitcoin prosperity.
US Government should state it once and for all if they find Bitcoin 'money' on par with FIATS like USD or EURO or it is a whole new kind of "paying method"
and thus it require new regulations and specific law.
This is why the USA needs Libertarian leaning politicians. The Libertarian Party actually takes BTC for donations.
