Hi everyone. I'm a business attorney in New York City. I've been involved in cryptocurrency for some time now. I hope I can be of some help on this board. I can't give you legal advice via posts, but if you PM me, we may be able to discuss the particulars of your business.

Full disclosure: There's no such thing as an expert or specialist in bitcoin law, and I am certainly not one. I'm an attorney with experience in securities, civil fraud and other financial matters with particular emphasis in the tech realm. There is almost zero judicial and legislative guidance out there for us practitioners, so many of us are trying to keep ourselves out in front of every new development as they arise.

I'm daily fascinated by what bitcoin is and what it can become, and I'm looking forward to becoming part of the community!

Welcome with open arms! There are many among us and I am extremely happy to see folks working to gain a more authoritative stance on the legalities. Most Bitcoiners (including myself) are tech/geek types (ok that is a sweeping statement but probably accurate)that have been developing hardware, software, ideas, science, math; their entire lives. We are becoming business men & women; which is good but painful. As you are probably aware. I estimate 95% of the community is developing beautiful businesses and careers of some sort or another; all based upon cryptocurrency implementation. The more wide spread acceptance in the US; the stronger the community will become. I see legal advise extremely crucial in this time. And thanks again.
