 TLDR? 
 PENIS 
 Money transmitting requires "acceptance" AND "transmission" of funds. Due to the nature of bitcoin, non-custodial services never accept users funds because they do not hold the private keys. FinCEN has ruled on this previously and DOJ is arbitrarily redefining what a money transmitter is, creating confusion for American citizens and stifling development. 
 Thanks!
