I'm very skeptical that bitcoin can even comply. It may not be possible to create the necessary consensus within the community. The power to regulate is the power to destroy and I think the community understands that on a fairly conscious level. That's why the regulation topic is such a contentious issue on the forums and reddit. Regulatory compliance is merely the thin edge of the wedge that would eventually split bitcoin in two if we let it. Was Satoshi's vision for bitcoin based upon principals or compromise? We all know the answer. Bitcoin will be regulated, but only to the extent it is declared illegal and outlawed in the US and probably other parts of the western world as well. The regulation topic is a nebulous intellectual tar baby, it's a blackhole sucking up a lot a brain power that would best be focused on other things, like developing bitcoin services for people in parts of the world who would actually be appreciative instead of telling you that you need to apply for a MTB license.
