Title: A sub-forum for btc legal dialogue?
Post by: mcdett on November 17, 2011, 03:54:45 AM
Anyone interested in a sub-forum to this site that has a focus of the legal analysis to laws in various countries?  I'd like to have a place to focus and document issues relating to the US SEC and how it relates to individual and institution transactions of btc.

I believe we have a long road in front of us, and having a place to focus the exchange of regulation understanding will make more clear the future.

Anyone else think this could be helpful?

My $00.02

+1, I am doing ongoing legal research related to Bitcoin (see sig). I would contribute to such a sub-forum regularly. As it stands now, I don't really have a location to post legal questions etc...

this thread is now in meta hell

on the train into work every day I've been reading about us sec law.  I currently have a basic understanding of the rules regarding creating and marketing a security.  my question is how could one sell a security on a market backed by btc.  if one owned $100 usd of btc given a market index they would be able to redeem their security for which ever currency they'd like to trade with (or btc).  something to the effect of a btc paper based mutual fund indexed on usd.

something like the above raises many interesting legal questions.  I think I well formatted sub-forum focusing on these issues would be helpful [pull us out of meta hell]
