Agreed.  It is important to remember that the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009 was as a result of the epic failure of our governments and banks worldwide in 2008.  If the people employed to run our government offices/departments are unable or unqualified to do so, then what justification would they have in interfering with a solution (provided by a brilliant mind) to the mess they allowed to happen.  They should concern themselves less with Bitcoin and other fun things "the people" do with their time, and focus more on the jobs they are employed to do "cleaning the sewers" , "fixing roads" , "building schools".  They have shown they (the current generation of leaders) are completely incapable of running the finances of the countries they are responsible for.  It is entirely laughable that they should want to be involved in anyway with Bitcoin, why would we want them to screw this up to?  I say "get back to work" and stop worrying about things that do not concern you.
