If the government is allowed to get it's grimy little hands on cryptocurrencies then any hope for a free market for the little guy is over. Yes, criminals use things that are unregulated to do bad things, but the government does the same thing only they've made it legalized for themselves the minority. While everyone else has to live within their created ponzi scheme. I don't agree with regulation. There is risk with anything that can allow people to fly free from the chains of governments and banking cartels. For the first time in history the little guy has the upper hand. He can't even see what is in front of him because he is too busy looking for safety. Jefferson did say that would be the death of freedom when people were convinced the government would make them safe.
