Nice collection of articles. I'm glad Coinbase had put together some tax help told. That really is going to be a nightmare to figure out for alts.
On the regulation stuff I think there needs to be some sort of light regulation just to help the general public avoid these pump and dump ico scams. Remember at fraud is illegal, that's somewhat of a regulation. I agree with your thought process though. You start to walk a fine line of over regulation when governments get involved.
