if you are afraid of government regulations then you should know that if they succeed in regulating bitcoin, they will also succeed in regulating all the rest of the cryptocurrencies even anonymous coins.
it is because as long as a cryptocurrency is decentralized they can not do anything about it. unless they regulate places that you go to in order to use those currencies. like regulating the exchanges, regulating merchants that are making sales and accepting an anon coin. you will still be subjected to the regulations.
