Title: Bitcoin and Property Rights - United States
Post by: pungopete468 on February 21, 2014, 06:50:27 AM
I was thinking about the rights us Americans have to property ownership and how they will be applied to Bitcoin. It's actually not as much of a stretch as you would think... People have rights to property, be it tangible or intangible; from ideas to cars. Bitcoin is protected by the Constitution and perhaps we should forward this to Bitcoin regulators...

I came across an excellent document. It's called the Cato Handbook for Policymakers.

I would suggest you all read this because it's very insightful.
