What if the US regulates crypto and declares Bitcoin a store of value? Basically, it doesn't have an ICO, there are no teams behind it, and there isn't an owner.
Why do they necessarily need to "declare" it as a store of value? If bitcoin performs well for the market to think that it's a good store of value, then it doesn't matter what the government thinks in the end as the market will act upon whatever their perceptions are anyway.
