BitLicense 2.0 What Latest Revisions will bring for Bitcoin Businesses



Marco Santori the attorney of  a business for technology companies. In particular, digital currency businesses. He is also the chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation’s Regulatory Affairs Committee and author of CoinDesk's series on bitcoin law (find parts 12 and 3 here).
