We are almost having similar situation in Africa, where leaders in government position have put restrictions on cryptocurrency and some of it's activities in some countries, however that's it's just temporarily, because the good news of bitcoin is coming like a moving train to the nooks and crannies of the entire continent.
But for the US government, I believe the issues will be resolved, because the US the government understands the importance of cryptocurrency in the market and how reliable it is.
Some of the governments just wanted to save their people from scammers and Ponzi Schemes because when people are still learning about crypto and others in their country are still ignorant about it, the scammers mix real information with their schemes and encourage their victims to invest in their project like the old cloud mining we once had in the internet and it was the most trending at that time when there were no ICOs and other. right now, people need to have proper knowledge about crypto so that their government will have no problem opening the opportunity to invest for them.
