Reply From: Darren Reed <darrenr () reed wattle id au> All this news of deregulated crypto from the USA is very good, but in recent times, we've also been hearing about other countries ramping up their support of Wassenaar, which the USA has been pushing hard for a long time. It almost seems like the US Government has gone out of its way to get other countries to prohibit international trade in the crypto market so it alone can have (and control) it. Either that or expecting signatories to pay (at best) lip service to Wassenaar would not seem too implausible. Or maybe I'm just being a tad on the paranoid/conspirital side.
