Dear BTC/Crypto Legal Forum:
As an experienced BTC attorney I'm happy to answer all questions here.
I have noticed some misinformation in some answers here. When it comes to taxes, laws and regulations, guessing or opinions are not helpful and can easily lead to problems. Most solutions to all the questions here can be summed up in a few short answers.
I can only give legal advice to laws in the United States but can discuss other countries in general terms. I've been involved as an attorney and a miner in BTC and Crypto's for 3 years. During that time I have represented many client's involved in our crypto world. Happy Mining!

I would like to comment and get comments on BCC and Coinbase. Coinbase may not have given a full and fair warning as to the implications of leaving BTC in Coinbase at the recent fork. If a user had transferred his BTC to say Bittrex, he would have been given BCC on or after August 1, 2017. If a user left his BTC in Coinbase he receives no BCC. I have seen talk of legal action. Now I have nothing against Coinbase. I have a wallet there and they are an industry leader; however it seems they have perhaps missed the boat on this one. The question looms, what happened to the BCC that was awarded to to Coinbase? What's missing here? Have I misunderstood?
Comments from Dev's would be greatly appreciated. I think there are many people affected by this. Thousands?
