Re: Blockchain update
How about the legal aspect of cryptocurrency? Are cryptocurrencies actually legal in the first place? I do know that it is illegal to issue your own paper currency without approval from the government.
For example, if I were to create notes which I call "iTulip Dollars" and start selling these on ebay at a value of 1 iTulip $ = 1 US$, I can be arrested in many countries on many charges including money laundering.
On the other hand, I can print collector's game cards and sell them on ebay without any legal implications.
