Regulation Play

There is a complicated web 🕸️ of regulation that entangles entities that qualify as "money transmitters." The early story of banking was that banks were formed to address the cost of moving physical metals from one place to another: it was expensive and risky. As these banks took possession of the gold for transit, it required contractual trust enforced by government.

Today, banks and remittance services are money transmitters that take possession of the money when sending it, and the money must pass between multiple organizations (bank > remittance service > recipient bank.)

If there had been a magic way to warp physical metal from one location to another instantly, there would have never been need for banks.

The crux of the regulatory landscape is that sending money requires compliance with Money Transmitter Laws. These regulations are strict and include that money transmitters must collect KYC and comply with all variety of regional regulations, including capital controls. In the case of unaccountable governments, this often means transfers are taxed to unreasonable levels.

On May 19, 2019, the U.S. Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network released a 30-page document clarifying regulations about cryptocurrency. In this document, they establish that "unhosted wallets" will not be considered money transmitters:
