Quote from: AG Sessions Hints at Possible Bitcoin Regulation Due to Popularity of Darknet JP Buntinx October 21, 2017

US regulators have been keeping a close eye on Bitcoin and the darknet over the past few years. More specifically, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently voiced some major concerns regarding both topics. Additionally, hes concerned over the use of encrypted networks, which seemingly hints at an impending crackdown on services such as Telegram.

The government will always try to control that which has growing interest among the public but is still not fully understood by the government.

The biggest thing people can do to fight these kind of actions is by voting these misguided leaders out of office. Certainly Trump, Sessions, and nearly everyone Trump has appointed are NOT the most intelligent and capable people of holding such powerful positions.

Sessions comments link Bitcoin to the darknet and therefore regulation may be needed. That's as ridiculous as saying the Dollar is used to buy drugs, therefore we need more regulation over the Dollar.

If you want to fight these kind of uniformed and not well thought through points of view, talk about Bitcoin to everyone you know. The more we talk about it the more we can educate people AND eliminate the "that's just for the dark web" misunderstanding. When you go to buy something, ask the merchant "do you accept Bitcoin?"

If each of us does this we'll see a lot of growth in understanding and adoption.

Vote? I have a bridge to sell you buddy
Now lets see if anyone can actually real my question without going on a political tangent
