The Law of Bitcoin is not the Law of the Jungle

[milaliss]

A monograph written by ten international lawyers and scholars and published in July 2015 claims to be “the definitive guide to navigating bitcoin law”.

The book is dedicated to the cryptocurrency laws in four countries: the United States, Canada, Germany and United Kingdom. Its ten authors, correspondingly, include three American, two Canadians, one German and four British. They are all lawyers, many having special experience in electronic payments, financial services or taxation. Some of them teach in universities and have authored research papers in law and finance.

Just a clever way for a few obscure lawyers to try to make a name for themselves, become seen as the first authorities over the subject. Their work, while important and I'm sure very full of appropriate expertise, is only their opinion of how things should be done or a summary of the very few laws that exist or how to apply bitcoin within the existing legal structure.

The best thing about this is that people who are not developers or "counter culture" are taking bitcoin seriously...spending time learning about it...spending time researching it...spending time talking about it. It's a great thing.

Study: Lawyers Say The Law of Cash Money is not the Law of the Jungle

I read a thread about saving lawyers from unlawful imprisonment to this thread where they are trying to do what they usually do,eat off the back of others.
Mind you I once got a refund from a lawyer and that shocked the hell out of me,so maybe two sides of the fence.

Think we will always have groups trying to leach off others,its a time ole tradition that has never gone away.

Unfortunately, this isn't about a book you can download for free. This is a commercial proposition. You've got to pay to get the book. I wish someone will buy it and tell us what it's worth.
