New York’s Bitcoin Regulations May Not Kill Startups After All
New York’s bitcoin regulations may not be as onerous as many have feared first proposed.
Aw, shucks. What was all that fuss about? It was only draconian overreach - and, hey, the regulations may not even kill startups. Then again - but anyway, why kill when you can maim?
Seriously: this is a standard ploy in various arenas - propose something outrageous, allow yourself to be pushed back into the place you wanted to be all along, call it a tough but fair compromise and enjoy the joke with your pals. On the rare occasions that there is no pushback on the original outrageous proposal, then you win big by default.
This is not over yet, I imagine.
