Bitcoin isn't illegal in US, theymos is a US national & is running this forum from US soil. That's what counts, legally.
If that's the case, that US law is the criterion for what can and can't be discussed, then:
1) I'm going to shit a brick
2) Someone should add that to the official rules
I'm not supporting ponzi's or supporting the people who support them. But I do think it's a fair point that the laws of any country are sorta arbitrary and as far as I can tell, it's the rules of the forum as established by the forum dictators which govern what's discussed here and what's not. I think the point that bitcoin itself is illegal in some places puts a fine point on that.
1. You're not going to shit a brick, because impossible.
2. Why would he add it to official rules, when
2a. there *are no official rules* on this forum
2b. Theymos is braking the rule himself, and getting paid for it
And yeah, you have to obey the laws of the country you reside in. That's just the way things are
