To ACB: Are you working with a local attorney?  I think it's great that you are trying to influence the rulemaking process.  It's civic participation at its finest; you are rocking the boat, and that's the only way change is made in this country.  That said, it looks to me like you are flying solo.  Most people who do this don't fly solo.  They do it with legal counsel.  Without a knowledgeable lawyer at your side, you risk rocking the boat in the wrong direction.  As a bitcoiner myself, that concerns me.

In sum, you seem to be lobbying to affect the regulation of an entire industry without someone who knows how the regulations truly work.  There must be a local attorney that you can work with in New Jersey that can guide you through this process, help you focus your communications, and aid you in representing the industry in a more effective manner.
