While I am aware of the fact that US citizens often think _they_ are the world (are you US? ;-) I really, really doubt that such a point of view is a good one. I was thinking more of Russia than of "Millenium Islands" and I personally do not think that Russia will feel much pressure from US crypto export legislation :-(
