Thank you for the warm welcome! Thanks for your PMs, as well. There are a lot of people out there with real-deal bitcoin matters and I'm happy to be of assistance however I can.

Looks like we're going to need a lot of lawyers getting bitcoin established without making many of us political prisoners.
If you thought the IRS going after the Tea party was bad just wait till your IRS agent gets a whiff your into bitcoin...

Hello everybody. I'm an attorney that works with start-ups and the finance industry. I tackle formation issues, together with intellectual property and commercial matters. I'd just like to introduce myself.
I've lurked here for a bit and read a lot of people asking for a referral for a lawyer who is an expert in US bitcoin law. I'm sorry to say that there aren't any. In fact, there's really no such thing as bitcoin law, in the traditional sense. There are a few rules and some guidance given by FinCen, but almost nothing from state authorities and even fewer actual, live cases.
There are plenty of attorneys who specialize in financial services regulation, but those of us who are interested in bitcoin know what we don't know - "known unknowns" as one of our leaders once put it.
I hope that I can help around here!
WELCOME!!!

Welcome to the forums, it's nice to see lawyers on here. All of my law friend's consider it too risky/boring when it's quite the opposite. haha

The only difference between Bitcoins and Swagbucks or any other Ticket/Credit system is that Bitcoins are POPULAR. When things get popular then greedy folks want to put their hands in and control it. Bitcoins = Barter and as of right now that is legal. If Bitcoins were outlawed then you could just write a ".01" on a piece of paper and hand it to the person.
+1 Yes, this. I think too many people are getting wrapped around the popularity of bitcoin and suddenly thinking it's something more than a virtual currency--with emphasis on virtual.

There is another lawyer on here. He calls himself a "monetary scientist" and he is taking Bitcoin donations to protect the human race from asteroids, black holes, and even alien invasions. He is speaking at Bitcoin2013. He must be getting desperate because I received reports he is adding people to the web site that don't know anything about the project. https://lifeboat.com/ex/bitcoinsI figure the $80K is going to go towards a special set of Magic: The Gathering cards with special powers. $80k in MTG cards? This guy has it figured out.

Welcome, And remember to tell them, "Things Can Take a Long Time" ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) That is probably the most important bit of legal advice I could ever give.
