If theres one thing I've learnt from all this bullshit is that the biggest problem is crypto is fiat. If a viable living economy can exist purely based on crypto, then the ties to fiat can be cut and these government shakedowns can end
The US gov behaves like a gigantic organized crime mob, stand over tactics and all. It's so big that the people think it's legitimate because they know no better having been brought up with it's spin. Corruption is everywhere. If the government was for the people, they would be the ones encouraging crypto and privacy, not trying to force it underground.
