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

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!!!

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...

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.

If bitcoin works as advertised, you'll need to find a new profession.

Welcome. Its great to have lawyers interested in bitcoins before they start going after it. Nothing is more frustrating then people who do not know what they are doing trying to control something with potential.

Welcome to the internet.  We are all lawyers here.

That reminds me of the commercial quote, "I'm not a doctor but I do play one on TV". Only in this case it is, "I'm not a lawyer but I do play one on the Internet".

Fill Your Barrel with Bitcoins!

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.

Welcome,

  This is definitely a good time to learn about this up and coming form of transactions.

  I would recommend mining and trading a bit just to get a better handle on all this works.  The experience may pay off when clients begin asking about this stuff.

Welcome. Can you tell me why lawyer jokes often make mention of sharks?
