7:33 pm
unless it's expressly allowed it can't happen. the laws doesn't condemn plate it. >> i was a little shocked reading that. the implications of that that basically he's decided it is illegal. when he was asked where does it say bit coin is illegal? it doesn't. we don't plan to write it into the law. but it is illegal which means the government can come up with anything they want and ban anything make anything illegal and they don't have to tell the people about it. >> it is illegal unless they officially approve it. >> i wassen der the apregs we could assume things are legal unless the government bounds it. things were completely flipped which is a little bit scary for the state of society. >> coming up the biggest gambling scam of allstate lottery.
