This all stops becoming relevant when you actually read the laws (slowly) with a legal dictionary, reading case law, paying attention to definitions, etc. If bitcoiners would start doing this, worries like these become a thing of the past.
While everyone euphoric from this #bitcoin pump, now would be a good time to submit your comments to FinCEN regarding the proposed totalitarian surveillance rule that was just published.

This made my morning. What are you seeing?
(I have read most of it, but not slowly! that's on my list. I'll do that with Black's Law open.)
What I mean is: when you understand how the law truly operates, what you will find out is that very little of it actually applies to you, but if you don't know how to express that (especially in court as Pro Se and NOT with a lawyer), then they will walk all over you.
I'll give you an easy example. ALL traffic infractions given to someone not operating in commerce are actually a criminal offense on the part of the OFFICER. You can literally sue them in their personal capacity and the people that start doing things like this, or filing bar grievances, or filing judicial complaints, etc, start getting the state to leave them alone.
One other thing I like to bring up often is that the IRS code does not apply to men/women, only businesses that are registered with the state. All it takes to see this is looking at a few definitions.
