I'm in the UK, and our current government is intent on sucking money out of any savings or assets that we own. They are starting to impose Draconian measures to control any financial transactions or holdings. I believe that this could lead to an increase in the use of P2P transactions that are kept away from exchanges and government control. Do you believe that this will lead to an increase in transactions between members of fora such as Bitcoin Talk, or will such transactions be a rich grazing ground for government investigations?

Governments around the world are already working hard with banks to crack down on ALL bitcoion transactions, and people are simply ignoring this.
Exchanges first started with stupidity of ranking and blacklisting Bitcoin according to connection with gov blacklisted addresses, and now we have Bank for International Settlements proposing grading all bitcoin wallets for blockchain AML!
If this gets accepted, and I don't see much push back from bitcoin community, you are going to see worse things happening in future.
P2P transaction could increase but you won't be able to spend those coins anywhere.
