Hello Community,
The legality surrounding Bitcoin is often confusing, and this has hampered both Bitcoin startups and venture investments into this industry. This is only natural, as Bitcoin is a phenomenon without precedent, and transcends national borders.
To help our company with this, we've brought on board Patrick Murck, from the Seattle area as Director of Legal Affairs. He's an attorney and Principal at Engage Legal, a "gamification pioneer," and virtual economy expert. Patrick has significant experience in digital currencies, and brings his knowledge of regulatory issues governing the use of virtual economies and alternative payment systems to BitInstant.
He will also be joining this forum as 'virtuallylaw' and contributing to the Legal sub-board, so please welcome him to the community. .
His expertise will help us move into new markets and cover our butts on the current ones
Patrick's as excited about Bitcoin as we are, and he's greatly looking forward to fighting the good fight with us.
Time is Money!
-Charlie
