Anyone else notice bitcoins are banned from being bought by individuals in New York unless they own a business and have the proper license and documentation to trade or own them?
I was trading recently and saw the message saying "New York residents are prohibited from buying bitcoins without the proper business license." New York passed some shitty law recently to try and regulate bitcoins.
Fuck New York, it's such a shitty state

That sucks but I guess it's not surprising they've found a way to limit peoples' access to a form of currency that is largely used for black market dealing.

I would speculate that a lot of regular market financial investors use them as a way to hide income and evade tax, and given New York's status as a financial hub in the world.. some kind of legislation makes sense.
There's also a lot of potential for laundering as well....

Sounds like the company you are buying bitcoins from has decided not to do business in New York State. The regulation isn't for indiciduals buying or selling, but for businesses like the one you are using to do the transaction. Sounds like a shady business if they don't want to follow rules on having the capitalization required by currency traders

What you are referring to is called the Bitlicense.
And the Bitlicense is incredibly prohibitive. You have to pay a non-refundable fee of 5K just to submit the application. You also have to submit fingerprints to the NY Fed, and have a certain amount of assets (determined by them completely at random) probably around 250K or higher to successfully apply. Oh, and they get to spy on every single aspect of your operation, 24/7.
You also have to comply with all sorts of ridiculous little rules that make it virtually impossible to operate fluidly as a company.
But I have only offered a basic explanation of why this license is incredibly stupid. Here's a blog post from Kraken, a major bitcoin exchange:
http://blog.kraken.com/post/126244351097/farewell-new-york
It's just another step forward in an overall fascist direction that our nation is taking. I would not be surprised if they end up passing this type of extremely prohibitive legislation, making it as hard as possible for bitcoin businesses to operate, in every single state.
In conclusion, fuck New York

Its best used for buying RCs from online dealers and buying stuff off darknet (as ive read).
darknet also has a money landuring service that somehow covers up your bitcoin transactions and makes them look legit. Not sure how it works, just reaad about it.

I guess you can cry fascist if you want, but honestly it's nothing new for a country to want to discourage alternative forms of currency. Pretty sure that's been commonplace since the invention of currency.

If you are supposed to be anonymous when using bitcoins how the fuck do they know if your in New York or the Canary Islands? If it's because you want something shipped to New York then use a mail fowarding service from out of state.

New Yorkers are crazy....
Every New Yorker I met this summer at a festival or at the club was either a K addict or coke fiend.
I met this one guy at Ultrabar this summer who was buying drinks for me because I told him I could get him coke. He was literally begging me for Cocaine the entire night and said he was down here on a trip from New York and hadn't snorted coke since he got down here and that he needed to get his hands on coke ASAP.
There was also a fuck load of Ketamine at Moonrise Festival this year because of the New Yorkers. New Yorkers can't get enough of that shit and it's fine but they go crazy with it. All of them were meowing and were kitty tripping. It was funny as fuck and chill and I love K but they are a little nuts and stupid. I like that Bisco isn't in NY anymore. Scranton PA is the real home of Camp Bisco and people in PA are more responsible and less douchey then New Yorkers. It's not the fact that it was relocated that pisses me off, what gets to me is that New York is so uptight and has a stick up their ass and that nearly ruined an entire festival, especially one as good as Camp Bisco
This Bitlicense shit is the last straw

Yeah, I just registered for Local Bitcoins and was given a notice that I was unable to use the site because it's now illegal to sell anyone bitcoins in New York unless the receiver has a hard-to-get license.
If there's any Shroomery members who are selling, announce it in this thread.

To hell with new York, its a shitty state anyway. There are many ways to get around their stupid rules. Simply register an address elsewhere. How are they going to know if its your real address or not or your real name or not?
You can always send in a money order to some places and buy. Using bitcoins is like giving the finger to the man.
Another way is to buy litecoins, darkcoins, etc in ny and then take them to another site where you claim to be in Vermont, for example, and trade them for bitcoins.

If you can do a deposit at the bank, go on local bitcoins and look in a different state for ads. Find one asking for deposit, but at a bank you also have in NY...then just go to that bank thats in NY, and do the deposit, to the branch of the bank thats not in NY where the seller is
And voila...you have bitcoins via local bitcoins
(similar to stonehenges ideas)
Bank doesn't have to know you're buying bitcoins. Seller doesn't have to know your in NY. And local bitcoins won't know you weren't outside of NY when you did the deal.

Here ya go
I'm sure you have one of these banks in NY (I'm canadian... so I don't know which ones are national)
https://localbitcoins.com/buy-bitcoins-online/US/united-states/cash-deposit/
Thats for philadelphia I think but you can probably find hella different cities and states with people willing to sell.
Nevermind thats for all of US. If for some reason they're going by your IP address. Go on a free VPN service or pay a couple dollars for one.
Fuck NY.

Good ideas, shadows. But if there is no rule against buying dark, lite, etc coins in ny, buy those and trade them on an out of state site. If the law is only against buying and selling and not against possessing btc, transfer them back to ny or keep them in your btc wallet.

They will have to. They are already selling bitcoins from this silk road shit as property, not currency. If it was considered currency, they couldn't sell it to the highest bidder like they are doing.

They will have to. They are already selling bitcoins from this silk road shit as property, not currency. If it was considered currency, they couldn't sell it to the highest bidder like they are doing.
But if I sell property that's not my main residence and make a profit I have to declare that as income. If bitcoins go up and you cash out the taxman doesn't know about it. You mark my words regulation is coming.

It will be a long time.
BTC hasn't even rooted itself in the society yet. And it is only accepted by a very very small percentage of businesses. It would have to be on a bigger scale before the government would step in and want a cut.

Its no different than buying some silver and selling it later at a profit. Its the same as buying and selling anything even jelly beans. Govt has a better chance at regulating jelly beans than bitcoins. The ny law is so easy to get around, it only has an effect on exchanges and people too dumb to circumvent it. Even if usa banned all exchanges there would still be person to person transactions and overseas would get all the business.
Govt will grandly ignore btc and it will gradually become accepted.

Bring it on, the government will never win this cat and mouse game on the internet. The cats are always well fed, but they can never stop the rats from doing what the fuck we want.
Maybe someday the government will realize it's impossible to win a game of wack a mole, but probably not because they're profitting from all the bullshit too.

We need to take control of govt away from career politicians and give it back to the people.

I feel like there's alot more at play here then career politicians. They are just puppets. The corporations, wall street, the military industrial complex, etc controls all the power atleast in the US. And fucking good luck with that.
That's why I feel like the internet is such an important tool to protect. It's one of the last free things out there.

darknet also has a money landuring service that somehow covers up your bitcoin transactions and makes them look legit. Not sure how it works, just reaad about it.
Any chance I can get a link to this??
Well, after about a half hour of searching, i couldnt find the original article.
But I found a new article taking briefly about bitcoin money landuring service: http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/digging-into-the-deep-web/

There are many ways to launder coins. Simply convert them into another type of coin, then convert back. You can also use laundering services like bitfog.
If we stop legalized bribery in all its forms then big money people will no longer be able to control the politicians.

Janky Tits said: New Yorkers are crazy....
Every New Yorker I met this summer at a festival or at the club was either a K addict or coke fiend.
I met this one guy at Ultrabar this summer who was buying drinks for me because I told him I could get him coke. He was literally begging me for Cocaine the entire night and said he was down here on a trip from New York and hadn't snorted coke since he got down here and that he needed to get his hands on coke ASAP.
There was also a fuck load of Ketamine at Moonrise Festival this year because of the New Yorkers. New Yorkers can't get enough of that shit and it's fine but they go crazy with it. All of them were meowing and were kitty tripping. It was funny as fuck and chill and I love K but they are a little nuts and stupid. I like that Bisco isn't in NY anymore. Scranton PA is the real home of Camp Bisco and people in PA are more responsible and less douchey then New Yorkers. It's not the fact that it was relocated that pisses me off, what gets to me is that New York is so uptight and has a stick up their ass and that nearly ruined an entire festival, especially one as good as Camp Bisco
This Bitlicense shit is the last straw
 
Judging a region based on the people you see at a festival is retarded
