Hi,

For reasons too absurd to explain, this Wednesday I’m invited to a virtual “coffee break” with the speaker of one of Spain’s cryptoexchanges, https://bit2me.com/. The event is organized by Cinco Días, one of the main economic newspapers in the country.

I’m looking for a list of potential questions I might ask if I have the chance. I already have the basics (“how’s this different to a tulip”, “what super-legitimate uses, apart from paying for drugs, hitmen, sex trafficking, launder money, evade taxes and inflate bubbles”, “what about the electricity usage”, etc), and given that BBVA (Spain’s second largest bank) and Telefonica (Spain’s main telco) are investing money, I also want to ask how they’re handling the child porn they have in their servers.

If anyone has more suggestions, I’m all ears.

    how are they sure that they won’t touch crypto used by iranian/russian sanction evaders (this might or might not violate sanctions)

      the glib answer is “oh we subscribe to Elliptic” or some other blockchain monitoring service
