Yes the regulations are very constricting especially when you look at them through crypto glasses.

I wonder what the world would be like without all the regulation on fiat (would there be tons of well funded terrorists and will everyone be money laundering? perhaps the benefits of control dont justify the negative effects it is having on society, and we will never know until the restrictions are lifted. I assume that someone who wants to fund terrorists would not necessarily make an EFT from their bank account  so why all the reporting controls on EFTs).

There is also a massive lack of understanding by regulators which makes people like us worry about going to jail for trying to provide an innocent service.

great questions..i think a simple answer becomes clear when we ask:

"do current regulations and pervasive spying stop terrorist funding right now?"

of course not, but we still keep going down that losing path. the big problem with patches to tackle social problems is that politics isn't geared to digging deeper and getting to root causes. like, why is the USSA the #1 target for non-US terrorist attacks? answering that question to anything close to the truth would do much more than additional surveillance and regulations to keeping us safer.

Buying back stock is Warren Buffett's preferred way of returning cash to shareholders (rather than paying a dividend).

I agree with Buffett.

Its also way easier to implement on a blockchain, by burning an asset, instead of trying to distribute small amounts of an asset among all holders.

Coin.mx Execs Arrested for Operating Illegal Bitcoin Exchange

Go BitShares Go!!! 

news like this makes me not want to do any kind of finance business, which is sad.

Any pair is instantly available once the asset is created, there's no minimum market depth AFAIK, however you might want to focus on the major ones, ie against BTS, CNY or USD.

You can find these markets by searching in the client.

Once you've issued say 100 units of UIA asset to yourself, simply go to your desired market and place a sell order.

@ccedk

any update? I am waiting to activate my card at your site. I don't want to pay 0.05 BTC more to bit-x
I have already payed 0.1 BTC to CCEDK

Can I bind the card with my name? Since many companies want the deposit to have the same name on card like they registered clients... like on trading platforms... is it possible?
