Please research it on https://www.govtrack.us and post the results of your research. Title: Re: Anyone heard of H.R. 2847? What are your opinions and how will it affect crypto?

I doubt Russia will participate so you're safe on BTC-e.

Post by: cookiemonster7 on May 23, 2014, 06:16:43 PM Very difficult to find any information regarding this bill through govtrack.us, I am particularly interested in the likely window period of compliance in which anyone who is an American Citizen with accounts in USD overseas will dump their dollars and purchase other currency in attempts to maintain their privacy leading to less usage of the dollar and some level of inflation, Time will tell if this is the beginning of the shift in the reserve currency, I'm extremely curious if the change in reserve currency could lead to the postulated 10,000-100,000 USD prices for bitcoin, and more curious as to whether others share that speculation.
