what the new FinCEN rule says, and how it would impact unhosted or self-hosted wallets, as well as crypto businesses
why they believe this is really politically motivated and unilateral midnight rule making by Secretary Mnuchin 
what other bureaucrats and policymakers think should be done instead 
whether the rule only affects businesses rather than individuals 
what information will be recorded according to the rule
ways to circumvent compliance 
how the rule affects DeFi and Web3
the procedural hurdles Mnuchin took to propose the rule, and what they recommend the crypto community to do try to stop the implementation of the rule 
how the rule comports with European GDPR regulations 
which government entities will be tasked with making the regulatory changes the space needs 
why President-Elect Joe Biden’s administration may be more favorable for the space
