Europe is worse. Is making anything encrypted illegal. This will be interesting, no?

This is not the case yet. But there will be a world-wide fight by the state-maffias to try to keep their citizens as their slaves, and they start to see the eminent danger that cryptography in general presents for their power. Cryptography is an ultimate freedom tool, and states don't like freedom (states being based upon slavery). We'll see how this turns out. Freedom won the first crypto war, but the second one will be harder, with much more stupid people than 30 years ago.

The point is this is the begininng and it will escalate to includ crypt

Will it? I'd speculate (and that's all you and the OP are doing as I can't find a law that states, or even infers cryptocurrencies are illegal) that some states will combat other states by encouraging anon cryptocurrencies--I'm sure someone in the CIA has figured out that cc's are a good way to drain Chinese wealth into western hands--and if they haven't, gamblers will figure it out for themselves--though their motive is just to gamble they can keep all their winnings.
