The rule of Government on freedom of speech varies from country but we still have the universal but the financial freedom sometimes breaks the security of the country if not controlled. No absolute privacy in bitcoin and thats more reason we see relaxed law against the use in the top countries. Its more reason we see fewer projects going into privacy coin because it is not as attractive as it used to, we have enough of privacy coin and could see tougher restrictions.
I can't believe some people want more restrictions for cryptocurrencies. Are you crazy? Cryptocurrencies are already being pounded left and right by KYC and other stupid "money laondering rules". They used to say cryptocurrencies have nothing to do with money, but when it comes to money laundering, suddenly they fit the profile.
