Arrested by the US Authorities Arrest For Teaching Cryptocurrency

[teminalibug 309]

I was juts reading Forbes news and I found this news about a guy called Virgil Griffith, who was arrested for teaching about cryptocurrency.

Man! I thought The US had accepted crypto in 2018 at least that is what i was told, then what is this?

 

According to the aritxcle maybe The US has not fully accepted crypto juts like China. you can read more at https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbrett/2019/11/29/us-authorities-arrest-virgil-griffith-for-teaching-cryptocurrency-and-blockchain/#db602d042cba

 

UPDATE;

The man was arrested for teaching crypto in north Korea, But he was arrested by the US authorities, brings another question, why would they arrest him, I mean he had no permit to travel there and do all that but still.

Hmm, well, things happen , and somehow he didn't sell it anonymously. Weird. Maybe he broke some rules on the sale of the cryptocurrency which is prohibited by law? I don't know, it's not cool

You should read the news carefully and completely. The person in question was not in fact arrested for cryptocurrency teaching. He was arrested because he had traveled to North Korea without permission from federal government. US considers North Korea as its adversary and they think Virgil wanted to help Korea evading sanctions by using cryptocurrency.

They think Virgil's teaching about crypto and blockchain will help to increase funding for Korea and they use it to build more nuclear weapons.

This is what I read in the news. If he had taught about cryptocurrency in US, he would never be arrested.

There are lots of academic courses about blockchain in US which means it is legal to teach about this technology.

They try to remove those who have at least some power and talk about cryptocurrencies, because they are simply unprofitable to them, since they can not control them.

What I comprehend is that in the United States, facilitated commerce with digital currencies has not been acknowledged. It has been the subject of discussion in the legislators chamber and in different organizations however there is some dismissal since they can be an instrument to back tax evasion and fear based oppression. How about we see where such finishes. also, by one way or another he didn't sell it secretly. Abnormal. Possibly he disrupted a few guidelines on the closeout of the digital money which is denied by law? I don't have any acquaintance with, it's not cool.

This is very disappointed, why they should do this? Bitcoin is illegal even for teaching or telling some ideas about it, like this way I don't think that cryptocurrencies will move on

You should have read the news properly yourself as well as many commentators here. The man was not arrested for teaching about cryptocurrencies in the U.S., but because he  traveled to North Korea without the permission of the U.S. Department of State and delivered a speech at the Pyongyang Blockchain and Cryptocurrency  Conference on using cryptocurrency to evade sanction. 

Quote

Despite receiving warnings not to go, Griffith allegedly traveled to one of the United States’ foremost adversaries, North Korea, where he taught his audience how to use blockchain technology to evade sanctions.

i dont know what went wrong or the story behind that arrest but the US doesnt ban bitcoin but they have strong position when it comes to ICO because a lot of Americans lost money in scam projects.

No my friend I don't think the American government has anything to do with this but I know for sure that crypto isnt banned in all states because we have exchanges operating from the US  like bittrex.

[Benjamin 84]

This is a sadly news mate, there has an people that willing to teach what is crypto all about, i think that country are banning crypto because many people using this in negative way.

I thought they accepted crypto too, what was wrong with teaching students about cryptocurrency, that is wrong of them for doing so

There is a link in the opening thread, what to do is usually to visit it and get a better understanding of what transpired before adding a comment, so that the forum would be enriched with well thought out inputs, not guess work. 

[bentayebsalah 2280]

I think this is bad and the United States will regret that it has banned teaching about cryptocurrencies when the rest of the world develops in the field and America still knows nothing about it.

[Zzoro6110 19]

This is bad for America because it has to allow education about cryptocurrencies in order to keep up with the developments in China and be very competitive.

If i haven't read, i would have something to say. Firstly all post supposed to be on the forum not an external link to go to other places. Sorry to say this, I don't trust links they cam be infected

I think it's just okay to only reference part of an article here and then a link to post, but more importantly you have to attach your personal comment, otherwise it would be nothing short of copy and paste. If you're to paste all content here, some might be too voluminous.

I read your all news and this is so said and why they arrest him just because of teaching, teaching is not a crime if you sell any coin to another person and make scam with him then the government will arrest you on that time but this is not a sense that you arrest any person just because of teaching.

[Sumayya 493]

If he is an immigrant that is another story, he is not a citizen of North Korea, the US authority has full right since he is their citizen

Hello there i would like to tell you that those countries who has not accepted the cryptocurrencies fully yet they will definitely make chaos against it and the US is a powerful country which will definitely don't do. Anything which will harm their reputation 

But Cryptocurrency in the US i heard that it is regulated so people are allowed to use it just with bigger taxes imposed.

[Interface User 1070]

I'm little bit confused why US arrested the man in North Korea. But for me the point of arresting a man because of Crypto Currency is so misleading because it avoid the true importance of Crypto to the society. Why this country don't like Crypto?

[phpMailz 568]

I don't think this is truth cause cryptocurrency is being teach in many universities in America MIT is offering a course  in blockchain design and they also have seminars where they dicuss about cryptocurrency and its impact on the financial sector.

[miskyming 1588]

This is bad news for us, he just teaching about cryptocurrency and it is not a crime teaching those people about cryptos. Sometimes I don't understand the government.

[skbo 16]

altogether over the humanity direction not up about Crypto it's not carnival for this sanity scores of Investors cause our bazaar and Us not good enough copious and and ICO or IEO are not acceptable and completely payments gateway and BTC engine is privileged

Apparently it only points to one direction which is crypto has not been fully acceptable by the world system as a whole and many countries see crypto as an illegal technology
