    Illegal immigrants can’t even send money out of the country without institutions taking a cut.

    You can still trade bitcoin at a coffee shop, it’s just not as convenient as an online exchange.

      But our government just took down the biggest vendor in the west, embedded third-party watchmen, is bleeding the company, got a judicial opinion that nfts are not that different than other systems and therefore subject to current regulations, etc. It’s probably not a big deal but I’m curious if there’s any stats / estimates.

        That’s why I’m suggesting in-person trading that can just ignore those laws. No companies involved at all.
