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?

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

+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]
