RE: Shapeshift Pulling out of Washington State Due to New Regulations

in #bitcoin7 years ago

So in Washington you are able to purchase weed in about every town with a greater population of 20k people. But you are unable to purchase Crypto and make investments how you see fit for your own financial future. Something doesn't add up. Maybe its because the State gets their cut of taxes on weed? Why not just push tax regulations on Crypto gains instead of banning it all together. Hopefully this will change as they start to realize that Crypto isn't going away.

Sort:  

Yes it is weirdly inconsistent - maybe the reason for the regulations is to build a foundation for taxation and they didn't take into account how onerous they would be.
