I feel bad for older folks who are less capable/willing to adopt newer technology. Give the grandparents a hand, eh?

If you're looking to join this company that doesn't even have a prototype and has no technical people, then I would consider yourself to be a founder. If you want to be a founder, 140k would probably be too high at this point for

Decentralized P2P bitcoin transfers are not easily regulated; It would be like regulating other P2P technologies like BitTorrent or encryption software. Of course, if a centralized business is in the middle, you can regulate that, but it&#x
