I'm an American attorney (like NOLO) who is quite knowledgeable on Securities regulations and understand the cryptocurrencies. Knew to this site but been watching BTC and other since the inception. Also licensed in Ireland, so understand EU directives and policies. I can try to answer EU questions to the best of my knowledge or research them if needed and provide a general overview  (if needed) of US ones to supplement NOLO (who has been spot on for 5 min summaries so far). I don't want to overstep, so I'll let NOLO keep up on the US aspect unless i need to chime in with something additional.
