So now I'm wondering; is anyone free to use bitcoin? Or, is it only for those granted special permission by FinCEN to use in a specified way?
I suppose if this community endeavors to interface with the establishment, it will have to get used to being constrained by its rules.
The way I read these rules, the only people affected by it are
1) miners who sell their mined cryptocoins for fiat, and
2) third parties who transfer
someone else's cryptocoins as part of an exchange of fiat (i.e. exchanges, BitPay, &c).
