I know that people here really want to continue saying that Crypto is going to be the thing that is able to take governments, politics, big banks, and so on and so forth down. But you really have to think about what you're saying, you're saying that our VERY SMALL tech is going to be able to overthrow trillions upon trillions of dollars of industry which has been created over hundreds and hundreds of years.
If we are ever something which is going to pose a danger to a politician, bank, lobbyist, etc etc. Then we're going to be crushed with regulation, bans, and so on and so forth.
The banks won't allow their grip to be lost, you have to understand that.
I second your opinion as weve already seen government action against crypto currencies. Eventually it will be like driving down the road with 10k in cash. The mere possession of that much money is indicative of money laundering and can be seized at will in the US. Not a crime, either. Its mere civil forfeiture. The burden is on you to get it back. If it was 10,000 Bitcoin, youd likely experience the same process. Only an uninformed officer would likely lose all your private keys. (Murphys Law).
