Your questions were already answered in the article.
If you care to read it again (this time with comprehension), you will find that Bitcoin, being created by the anonymous Satoshi, has no principles for FinCEN to have jurisdiction over.
On the other hand, Classic is being created by identifiable individuals, many of whom live in the US and other NATO/FACTA countries.
Please learn to read more effectively, and stop misleading people with such trivially debunked fake 'gotcha' questions.
The essay was written by an actual lawyer. You aren't a lawyer, you are just some stupid-as-shit Gavinista that isn't even especially literate.
The only reason you're straining at the article's well made points is that it's not pro-Classic.
But the essay is factually grounded, and pretending it's all just a big lie won't help Team Classic when the TLAs come knocking.
lol not grounded..
otherwise the fork of 2013 would make blockstream liable .. using your logic..
oh and the segwit code changes.. will make blockstream liable .. using your logic..
so much laughs today
lastly.. 2mb proposal is not limited to classic.. there are 12 different implementations that all can input the rule change and the miner flags..
thats right miners running core can continue running core and just change the 1 byte flag in their data to show their intentions.
and then change the max block size if the target is reached.
its not code limited to classic..
thats right core can input the changes too.. its not a classic vs core.. its a people vs adam back. where adam back will continue to refuse to stay with the people even when the minority moves against him.
adam back will be the one sticking his head in the sand playing with clams and having to get fincen registered (if the article was legally correct, which its not)
but for laughs lets use icebreaker logic
Charles Lee (litecoin) needs to go to jail for not registering their coin invention?
vitalik buterin (ethereum) needs to go to jail for not registering their coin invention?
wait for it, here is the punchline..
Gmaxwell and Adamback(liquid & sidechains) needs to go to jail for not registering their coin invention?
Icebreaker has been on my ignore for a while, but I happen to see this.
"Written by an actual lawyer"...oooooh....lmao.
lawyer to argue just the opposite of what it says in the article.
Derp.
