    The Treasury Department unveiled a plan Friday to require some cryptocurrency traders to provide information about their identities in an effort to curb the anonymous transfer of assets by criminals using the new technology.

    The proposed regulations, coming as the price of bitcoin hovers near a record high, seek to deliver on a longstanding goal of U.S. policy makers: to hold entities that transact in cryptocurrencies to the same standards required of traditional financial institutions.

    The proposals would focus on a type of tool known as unhosted wallets, which allow the owner of a unique digital key to store cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin and ethereum, and transact with others directly—without going through a financial institution.

    Silly people didn't really think the government was going to allow terrorists and drug dealers to move money around anonymously, indefinitely, now did they?
    The NWOcoin is not far away.

    They will try but the cat's out of the bag.

    This barely phased the Bitcoin price.

    It's barely enforceable. I can still have a KYC (Know Your Customer) wallet as my front to deal with exchanges, and pass stuff from my private wallets to it. Most exchanges already block US customers since of how infested our government is with Boomers.

    This is basically the same as Boomers saying they want backdoors into all encryption. They don't understand how technology works.


    I told you people to get into Bitcoin @$4 in 2011 and most of you ridiculed me. You still ridicule me. Get over your stubbornness and get into Crypto before you're priced out.
    I already told you MULTIPLE times to BUY BITCOIN the past few months and the price DOUBLED.

    Welcome back sir!

Just sharing the info, since I think its something that should be looked into

    ...I'd like to point out at I purchased these BitCoins @$6.80 per BitCoin. Last time I looked at the price a week ago, it was $3.60, so this should give you some perspective how fast the price is rising. As I post this message, a half a day after my purchase, BitCoins are @$8.02 (so I could sell now for a 18%+ profit) , so this shows you the relative volatility of the market, but the general trend is upwards.
    Good call Shami!
