This is NOT non custodial (despite what they may want to believe). They have a key.

OFAC just settled an enforcement action with @BitGo for apparently failing to prevent users in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, & Syria from using its service. Lots to say here, but first, it turns out Treasury *doesn't* need more KYC to enforce sanctions laws. home.treasury.gov/policy-iss…

The industrial revolution wasn’t only about technology. You need the structures capable of exploiting the new technologies when they come along. What is waiting in the wings to replace the company?

This is a clear escalation of the Crypto Arms Race (privacy protocols vs. financial surveillance), and the technical privacy protocols must prevail for a free society.

When regulators, innovators, and everyone in between works together, we all win. Read my latest piece in The Hill, where I discuss the new ruling proposed by FinCEN and why I think this can be a win for crypto. thehill.com/opinion/finance/…

FinCEN’s new rule will protect Americans and accelerate cryptocurrency’s adoption

Stronger regulations to protect Americans combined with the economic freedom of sound blockchain projects is a perfect formula.

Don't sleep on the team at Suredbits and the work they're doing on DLCs. If you do, you will miss out on the fact that people are bringing products to market on top of Bitcoin that were previously thought to be impossible and destined for altcoin chains. tftc.io/martys-bent/issue-89…
