FinCEN Regulation MegaThread - Make Your Voice Heard - Wish Mnuchin a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
This thread will be stickied until January 3rd - which is also the deadline for comment on the new FinCEN rules & regulations.
Dear r/Bitcoin
The regulators are here, and they want to make things more difficult for the ecosystem. Make no mistake, the new proposed FinCEN rules are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give them Hell for trying to sneak in some last minute shenanigans, at the 11th hour, of an outgoing administration, during Christmas. (A cowardly act, no matter your political affiliation).
This subreddit has more than 1,840,000 subscribers, many of whom are lawful American citizens, voters, taxpayers & Bitcoin enthusiasts.
So make some noise, but be respectful and professional if and when you do.
Be sure to let them know that it's not worth risking Republican control of the Senate over Mnuchin's personnel vendetta against Bitcoin.
At the time of posting this thread there have been 284 comments made. Lets get that to 2100.

Rumor is, the Office of Management and Budget has the final say on these FinCEN rules, so be sure to submit a copy of your comments there too:

Closing Thoughts and Strategy:
It's probably more important to leave a comment on the actual proposed rules, then to send Mnuchin a letter he won't read. But both are encouraged. In addition, the Office of Management and Budget angle might be the best place to target. Please submit your comments respectfully and professionally to as many of the available avenues for comment and feedback as possible. But do not spam or be disrespectful in your conduct. Please also contact your local senator and congressman for wider effect.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone.
