Good news!
According to https://coincenter.org/entry/reps-polis-schweikert-introduce-cryptocurrency-tax-fairness-act-in-congress?mc_cid=dd03c78363&mc_eid=576e672ee9 there 's a new Cryptocurrency Tax Fairness Act proposed to US Congress, the bill directly aimed at making the lives of cryptocurrency users easier
This bill does two things::
1.Creates a de minimis exemption for cryptocurrency transactions for goods or services under $600.
2.Requires the Treasury Department to issue guidelines for informational reporting on digital currency transactions for which capital gains is due.

In general, we expect that if a token is considered as a security : you will have problem and the ICO who raised will struggle to transfert the Bitcoin in fiat in a bank account. There is still solution to unbox your bitcoin, A company in Dubai is accepting bitcoin to buy flat,houses, : you need a passport and a proof that fund doesnt come from no dark net activity. It is pretty fair to me, dont you???

What is about new Chinese legislation? How long will it take to them to close all websites concerning ICO ? Who knows?
Bittrex is not a secured platform, my account has been hacked even though i had 2FA secured and i didn’t even logged in that whole day.
I got Kaspersky security software installed in my Laptop and i didn’t even use mobile for trading on Bittrex.
After my account been hacked i reported within 24 hours as said in the email received from Bittrex, unfortunately everytime support reply with some automated message blaming customer for comprising the 2FA which is infact Bittrex straight away blaming customer and don’t want to refund my Bittcoin because of their Website which is not well secured and customer had to bear all the consequences.
Its not only me whose account been hacked but there are plenty customer whose huge bitcoins has been hacked because of their negligence

Bitcoin not money, Miami judge rules in dismissing laundering charges
BY DAVID OVALLE
[email protected]
JULY 25, 2016 10:22 AM
A Miami-Dade judge ruled Monday that Bitcoin is not actually money, a decision hailed by proponents of the virtual currency that has become popular across the world.
In a case closely watched in financial and tech circles, the judge threw out the felony charges against website designer Michell Espinoza, who had been charged with illegally transmitting and laundering $1,500 worth of Bitcoins. He sold them to undercover detectives who told him they wanted to use the money to buy stolen credit-card numbers.
But Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Teresa Mary Pooler ruled that Bitcoin was not backed by any government or bank, and was not “tangible wealth” and “cannot be hidden under a mattress like cash and gold bars.”
“The court is not an expert in economics; however, it is very clear, even to someone with limited knowledge in the area, the Bitcoin has a long way to go before it the equivalent of money,” Pooler wrote in an eight-page order.
The judge also wrote that Florida law — which says someone can be charged with money laundering if they engage in a financial transaction that will “promote” illegal activity — is way too vague to apply to Bitcoin.
“This court is unwilling to punish a man for selling his property to another, when his actions fall under a statute that is so vaguely written that even legal professionals have difficulty finding a singular meaning,” she wrote.
The ruling was lauded by Bitcoin experts who believe the ruling will encourage the use of the virtual currency, and offer a roadmap to governments across the world that have struggled to understand and regulate it.
Espinoza’s attorney, Rene Palomino, said the judge’s order was “beautifully written.”
“At least it gives the Bitcoin community some guidance that what my client did was not illegal,” Palomino said. “What he basically did was sell his own personal property. Michell Espinoza did not violate the law, plain and simple.”
A spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office said: “We are presently reviewing the court order to determine whether we will be appealing this decision.”
Law enforcement has struggled to figure out how Bitcoin fits into illegal activities, and Espinoza’s case was believed to be the first money-laundering prosecution involving the virtual currency.
The controversial virtual currency allows some users to spend money anonymously and it can be also be bought and sold on exchanges with U.S. dollars and other currencies.
The currency has gained popularity with merchants selling legitimate goods and services. In Miami, there are a few restaurants that accept the virtual currency — and even a plastic surgeon.
Regulated services such as CoinBase, which operates similarly to PayPal, allow people to buy, sell and use the Bitcoins. But authorities have raised concerns about the currency being used in the anonymous black market.
Most notoriously, Bitcoins were used to traffic drugs in the now-shuttered Silk Road network. In an unrelated South Florida case, a Miramar man got 10 years in prison after using Bitcoins to buy Chinese-made synthetic heroin from a Canadian prisoner.

I rarely get to add anything of substance to a sticky post. Feels good, man 
the SEC just issued guidance on the legal state of ICOs and token sales:
https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2017-131
some highlights:
so, expect US based ICOs to shutter, its not safe to do this without registering anymore, and it takes a few months, if not years, to do so.also, you may see exchanges stop offering these securities unless they go into compliance. this will greatly enhance the quality of these offerings however, they simply wont be able to pull that anon team bullshit, or perpetrate outright scams. the laws is watching now
I wonder how this will fair for ICO that are in between their pre offerings and live ICOs, as well as those that are due to start in the next few weeks, that are US based or offering to US investors.
Expect participation to close for US citizens. And prepare accordingly
the SEC just issued guidance on the legal state of ICOs and token sales:
https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2017-131
some highlights:
Quote
The SEC's Report of Investigation found that tokens offered and sold by a "virtual" organization known as "The DAO" were securities and therefore subject to the federal securities laws. The Report confirms that issuers of distributed ledger or blockchain technology-based securities must register offers and sales of such securities unless a valid exemption applies. Those participating in unregistered offerings also may be liable for violations of the securities laws. Additionally, securities exchanges providing for trading in these securities must register unless they are exempt. The purpose of the registration provisions of the federal securities laws is to ensure that investors are sold investments that include all the proper disclosures and are subject to regulatory scrutiny for investors' protection.
Quote
"The innovative technology behind these virtual transactions does not exempt securities offerings and trading platforms from the regulatory framework designed to protect investors and the integrity of the markets," said Stephanie Avakian, Co-Director of the SEC's Enforcement Division.
Quote
In light of the facts and circumstances, the agency has decided not to bring charges in this instance, or make findings of violations in the Report, but rather to caution the industry and market participants: the federal securities laws apply to those who offer and sell securities in the United States, regardless whether the issuing entity is a traditional company or a decentralized autonomous organization, regardless whether those securities are purchased using U.S. dollars or virtual currencies, and regardless whether they are distributed in certificated form or through distributed ledger technology.
so, expect US based ICOs to shutter, its not safe to do this without registering anymore, and it takes a few months, if not years, to do so.also, you may see exchanges stop offering these securities unless they go into compliance. this will greatly enhance the quality of these offerings however, they simply wont be able to pull that anon team bullshit, or perpetrate outright scams. the laws is watching now

Federal Judge Rules That Bitcoin Is Legal Money In Court Case
[emai/www.deepdotweb.com/l][/email]
POSTED BY: C. ALIENS SEPTEMBER 28, 2016 IN FEATURED, NEWS UPDATES LEAVE A COMMENT
Potentially setting the standard for future cases, a New York federal judge ruled that Bitcoin is a form of legal currency.
On September 19, Judge Alison Nathan of the Southern District Court of New York likely ended the year-long Coin.mx case. Anthony Murgio, one of the Coin.my operators were indicted in July 2016 for working without a money transmission license. He was similarly charged with money laundering and willful failure to file suspicious activity report. Murgio’s council has been fighting to have the money laundering charges dismissed, arguing that Bitcoin is not legal currency.
coinmx.png
Judge Nathan rejected Murgio’s bid to dismiss the money laundering charges, claiming that Bitcoin very explicitly qualifies as currency.
According to Reuters, she wrote a brief explanation regarding her decision:
Bitcoins are funds within the plain meaning of that term. Bitcoins can be accepted as a payment for goods and services or bought directly from an exchange with a bank account. They, therefore, function as pecuniary resources and are used as a medium of exchange and a means of payment.
She adds that her decision did not address six other criminal counts that Mario faces.
Murgio, along with several other conspirators has been under federal investigation for criminal activity involving Bitcoin. He was accused of willingly laundering funds from bitcoin ransomware attacks and other fraud.
According to the FBI regarding Mario's criminal role in Coin.mx:
In doing so, Mario, and his co-conspirators knowingly enabled the criminals responsible for those attacks to receive the proceeds of their crimes, yet, in violation of federal anti-money laundering laws, Murgia never filed any suspicious activity reports regarding any of the transactions.
Nathan’s ruling follows a recent Florida money laundering case where Judge Pooler made precisely the opposite ruling. Pooler cleared the defendant of all charges after agreeing that Bitcoin failed to meet the state criteria for currency. Interestingly, the state of Florida is not alone in having currency specifications that leave Bitcoin in a gray area. Most similar, perhaps, is the IRS defining Bitcoin as a “property” (I.R.S. Notice 2014-36).
The aforementioned Florida case has pushed states to re-examine legislation to accommodate the growing cryptocurrency usage. In one scenario, such action was taken almost immediately. After Pooler cleared Michell Espinoza of money laundering charges, the state of Florida filed an appeal to overrule her decision. The state disagrees with Pooler’s finding that Bitcoin is not a legal currency in the state of Florida.
Attorney Brian Klein, Mario's legal counsel, tells CoinDesk that the defense will continue to fight the charges. “The defense obviously disagrees with the Court’s denial of the motion to dismiss,” he says. Klein tells the press that Mario looks forward to clearing his name at his upcoming court appearance.
