Whoa! Sent you email. ;-) Back to the thread, I believe "material" is defined by the amount of the source wallets not the destination wallet. But it's also risky to accept large amounts of money from strangers because of the

If you have crappy legal representation then sure - but I should hope any decent attorney can show that your a member of a LARGE set including a who's who of upstanding citizens, have a witness (or you) explain to a jury what "dus

meh this whole thing is stupid - law enforcement proxies (chainalysis) can trivially ignore the dust in tracking down who's using Tornado to launder material amounts of wealth.

The comments here seem to forget that financing is ESSENTIAL to startups - even profitable ones. As a reminder, 99% of the marketcap (value) of a startup is its growth, not its present size/revenue/etc. By mathematical definition,

Jumping in: though enforcement is questionable, in many jurisdictions you are required to pay taxes based on where the work was performed, not your "primary residence." For example, during the recent tax year I moved, my accountan

When SEC approves crypto ETFs that's great until then Americans are rolling their own from direct holdings.

Google did this 15+ years ago, and while the transition took a couple of years, they never looked back. Productivity shot up for all the usual reasons.

sorry, you're correct of course and I was being a bit sloppy. apologies. still, the fact that I haven't heard of the counterexample, suggests that indeed TradFi isn't close in the US sorry to move goalposts again ;-)

Having suffered myself over the years, I try to keep the process lightweight for everyone, and frontload the obvious reasons for one side to reject the other. Life is too short to spend on interviewing.

Nice. But the other cool thing about crypto is that it's programmable, so you can arrange 100s of transactions between parties. Micro finance loans, royalties and distribution, etc etc

My point is that NO CONTRACT perfectly spells out every detail => this argument can be used to null any contract => weak legal reasoning. A buyer could make up any sort of nonsense to escape a contract, like (to pick a random example)
