Also, I would like to emphasize, while these institutions are dedicated to the establishing of new or modified digital transactions, they are not intended, in any way, to break the law, avoid taxes, or push what I can't help but think of as the "Tim May .sig agenda" outside the bounds of the law. Many of us believe in aspects of that agenda, but this is an approach to push the envelope from the legal side.
And I think this is a wise thing to do. I comment these folks for pursuing this, all the more so becuas a "credit union" is not the sexiest thing I can think of (not compared to data havens at least). But it'll be the solidly middle class apps like digital credit unions that wil help further colonized cyberspace (and cypherspace). Meanwhile, I'm fairly "out" about my crypto preferences, and intend to continue talking about crypto anarchy. I'm sure you folks wouldn't want it any other way.
