It will be interesting to see if the above mentioned exchange (Copenhagen Bitcoin Exchange) gets its permit. In Denmark there are two types of licenses to apply for when handling electronic currency, the "limited permission to handle electronic currency" (that CopBE is applying for) and the full "electronic bank permit".
Runeks. Can you put me in contact with these guys? I had long chats with my lawyer this summer regarding bitcoin, financial instruments. His coffee-chat conclusion was that I'd need to drop 1 million EUR in Denmark or get a better lawyer. However, he pointed out two facts, (1) while Greenland is under the Danish crown, it is not a member of the EU and (2) many of Greenland's laws have not been harmonized with Denmark since the 1980's, which likely includes such things as 'know your customer' and certainly all EU-financial harmonization.
Interesting. Where are you located? I'm not sure I understand exactly why your lawyer advised you to hire a Danish lawyer. Why is that?
That idea on using Greenland seems worth pursuing.
I don't know these guys personally. I've only relayed what I've read in a post from the user
