> And not only are they telling us we can't sell part of our non-existent gold to our friends, we can't sell it to people ANYWHERE. well they could, they'd just have to register with the government. but in this case, registering with the government isn't so simple because that "opts in" to a ton of other regulations which are usually okay, if the group of people weren't also trying to tie membership into their nightclub with whoever currently bears the right to own a piece of the gold mine.

The various governments have a chance to create a framework that works for both, but chooses to rely on the regulator for investments exclusively, or making it too expensive and irreconcilable to ask for clarification.
