And what’s the good news about the US Treasury getting hacked, does it mean that they are not longer going to push the idea of crypto regulation?

Not likely, but is it even the Treasury department that's in charge of those kinds of regulations? My knowledge of the US government is abysmal, I'll admit, but I would figure on Congress, the Senate, or even the IRS getting worked up enough about crypto to pass laws to regulate it.

OP, I'm the kind of person who doesn't read the news and it'd be nice if you'd provide a link when you start threads like this, because I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I'm trying to glean that information by reading everyone's replies, and that's a pain in the ass.

Now, the government getting hacked and having money stolen (if that's what happened; if not, it certainly could) makes me think that going completely digital as far as a monetary system is a bad idea. I don't think physical cash should ever be done away with completely. That isn't the topic of this thread, but it's what immediately came to mind here.
