use bitcoin properly and you don't have to worry about corrupt regulators or burdensome, bad, over-reaching regulations ... if you are you are doing it wrong.

The regulations are clearly designed to keep Bitcoin on the fringes. Bitcoin can't win if there's not a level playing field and fiat isn't hard to obtain, you don't need to track capital gains, and you don't need a Bitlicense on top of the standard retail license to accept it. Game, set, and match.

Yeah. The US is turning into kind of byzantine backwater with all its mind-bending bitcoin and monetary regulations ... it's the general obsession with money, status, envy and control taken into the digital realm I guess.
