A user is a person that obtains virtual currency to purchase goods or services


As I said, you can buy real currency as a speculator and you aren't required to follow any regulations. Forcing speculators in digital currencies to meet the same requirements as financial institutions would be absurd.

I realize one could make a case that that is what they mean here but common sense dictates that was not the intent, and it is extremely unlikely speculators have anything to be concerned about.
