- boringg 3y agoYou have a sample size issue for your counter.
- Kiro 3y agoIt's a huge movement happening in the OSS space but HN refuses to acknowledge it.

- smohare 3y agoDo you have any stats to support this is some “huge movement” relative to whatever is considered standard practice? I ask this as an honest question since I’d never heard of the phenomenon, but am not steeped in OSS dev work by any means.
- bnchrch 3y agoHN unfortunately isn't very objective on this particular subject.
- bnchrch 3y agoIt let me purchase and sell a small software app without going to the bank, signing documents, paying $75 just to orchestrate a wire transfer.
- aurareturn 3y agoYes, skirting the law. Banks/payments have regulations.
- bnchrch 3y agoNothing wrong / illegal about what we did. Legitimate business, Used stable coins, filed taxes.
- aurareturn 3y agoNot the point. Crypto skips all the regulations.
- megadal 3y ago> Not the point. No that's exactly the point. The point is what is a legitimate use case for crypto, this use case is getting around pointless bureaucracy. You don't get around regulations, the responsibility of adhering to them just shifts from a third party to you, hence the person you're replying to paid taxes. Are you implying avoiding operating fees is not a valid use case? Operating fees help facilitate adherence to regulation at scale but they themselves are not the regulation.
