Is not about thinking others are doing it for fun. There's a huge difference on doing things under compliance after registering a pseudo-bitcoin-fiat-backed "startup" business asking permissions to govt do things with vc versus an anonymous mint-runner that just operate in the private, without asking permissions to anyone, because s/he just knows s/he can do it and is not hurting anyone, nor committing any moral crime.
The people giving him grants must know this.
Indeed. Actively striving towards compliance means to willingly participate in that game. Running a mint (pseudo-)anonymously out of spite, or because one thinks it right, and taking the accompanied risk is something else.
