I don't understand American politicians. They seem to be trying to impose restrictions on the rest of the world, and as a cosequence, they are creating an isolated economy without world communications. They can't force changes on Bitcoin, they can only try to restrict its use in the US. This will actually strengthen Bitcoin imho. The keyloggers and other stuff they are forcing into Windows will just push people to Linux.
There is more world support for Russia than the US now as a result of their pro-ISIS and anti-Assad policies, and they seem to be escalating their war with China.  I think we should carry on developing Bitcoin and supporting the original philosophies, and leave the US to JP Morgan and the other ponzi scammers.
