Seriously, fuck the US and the State of New York. I hear there are other countries in the world, and some of them actually welcome entrepreneurs.

I don't understand this mentality. EVERY OTHER COUNTRY is going to want to make sure your precious decentralized Bitcoin isn't being used for criminal money laundering, child pornography, etc. However, that to you = US hates entrepreneurs! Seriously, the land of Google, Apply, Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, Monsanato, Goldman Sachs, Intel -- just to list a few US-based WORLDWIDE leaders in their respective industries, many of which did not exist 20 years ago -- hates entrepreneurship? What universe are you living in?

The fact of the matter is that modern-day finance is largely routed through America. You cannot escape that fact. As such, American financial rules will eventually apply somewhere in your flows or if you want to expand beyond middle-of-fucking-nowhere-stan.
