Seems like NY will be a failed state in so far as bitcoin is concerned.
With other countries becoming more and more 'friendly' towards bitcoin NY is going to be left behind in their dust when adoption really starts taking off.
The EU area I guess will soon start with the same kind of stories as they always follows in big bothers footsteps. Starting to look more and more like the major growth areas for bitcoin is going to be towards the east.

Yes!!! Cheers to you! Where is the applause emoticon when I need it! This is EXACTLY what we need our companies to do. When the regulators give you the finger, give it to them right back! Maybe then the stupid regulators will realize that when you do this the businesses just move and the state loses out on tax revenues.
I don't think that most btc businesses want to dodge taxes or break the rules. I think that they want to comply with rules and make a good business. But when the regulators focus on an industry and try to kill it, then that industry can vote with its feet.
I think that these bitcoin regulations are being bought by banks to prevent crypto adoption. If you move shop then you are making the banks waste their bribes.
The really great thing is that because of the nature of bitcoins, a business does not always need a local presence. So if they move out of state or out of country then it should have zero impact on customers, or actually be good for customers. And also I think that your average crypto customer is very aware of what is happening, and they will understand if there is an inconvenience while the business is moved.
So as a customer, I want to say THANK YOU to any business that decided to move because of bad regulations. I know it costs them money to move in the short run, but in the long run you are making your customers happy!

As long as they don't move when some acceptable form of regulation is put in to place.. Better start getting used to being regulated on some level..

Well, hooray for regulation, I guess? I wonder how many more bitcoin companies will follow suit.

Surely bitlicence esque frameworks will pop up everywhere apart from the most obscure third world hell holes. Money is on the line and no government is happy letting it move freely and anonymously.
Perhaps these moves will make other legislators think twice but I seriously doubt it. Their loyalty is to their own perceived security, not some faceless and tiny tech companies.

Yeah we'll end up with 99% of similar bitcoin tech companies being based in Switzerland eventually. Not sure if that is a good thing.. Switzerland has a pretty bad fame of being "the place where corrupt people hide their money under bank secrecy" specially after the Falchiani list leaks.

I agree, but the big banks in america own the government and are buying regulation specifically designed to have a chilling effect on the bitcoin economy. The regulations being put into place are absurd, far reaching, and beyond any reasonable measures. They are grasping at straws because it is far easier to move a bitcoin exchange compared to a bank imo. Congrats to the Eobot team for making the right decision.

Will be even more exciting when Coinbase and Circle abandon New York. Millions of dollars of tax revenue lost, overshadowing any gains from fucking over small Bitcoin businesses with exorbitant fees and fines.
Yea that will deal a devastating blow to NY, since Circle, Coinbase and other Bitcoin businesses account for a huge portion of tax revenue!
