Try starting a Blockchain company and they will violently fight you until they’ve (the big banks) have shut down your access.

I'm guessing you don't just mean blockchain, but rather virtual, unregulated currencies. If so I'm glad that's the case.

If you actually mean a company using blockchain in other ways: do you have any examples?

As a Swede, I'm glad this is the case.

So give me the bull case where there’s a regulatory gray zone and institutions who really don’t understand technology get to decide how it should be operated. I’ve been in contact with Finansinspektionen on multiple occasions and there’s a pretty low understanding of technology in general. Another detrimental aspect is that there’s very little competition to the regular banking system because of this.

So since HN is a place primarily for technologists who like to push things forward, maybe you have a stronger argument than just saying that you’re a Swede?

Why is preventing people from starting a legitimate business a good thing?
