I think a lot of people are putting too much emphasis on the risks involved with governments and regulations. In most countries, governments are chosen by the people through a voting system. If you are lucky enough to live in one of these countries, then you have a say in what happens.

Use your vote and the votes of your family and friends to vote for a government that can bring change that favor Crypto currencies. The older generation will vote for "Fiat" based governments, because they accepted that as the norm. The younger generation wants change and they want more effective currencies and technologies... so go out and get the votes of these people to make Crypto currencies the new standard.
