Great! They're excited to see this happen. I'm in London rig= ht now

issue was being discussed a fair bit there among attendees. (notably,
with rather different views than seen on reddit!)

your local jurisdiction views Bitcoin, but rather how your customers' jurisdictions view Bitcoin.

Of course, when I say "customers" above, I mean the entire Bitcoi= n
community that is ultimately buying the new coins produced by miners and paying fees to them!
