Only in America. Most other countries have this under control.

No, in general crypto technology is valuable because it can avoid laws created by constitutional democracies. Its a back door for money launderers and illegal payments.
> We can of course expect established monopolies and governments to retaliate in every way possible in an attempt to maintain power.
Exactly we voted for this government to enforce some rules, if cryptos are a way to avoid the rules, it will be made illegal.

It's also valuable for that, but I argue it has greater value in legal transactions that currently must operate through said gatekeepers who impose extralegal restrictions.
- MadSudaca 6y agoMost other countries? Where do you get that information from? Also maybe it’ll be made illegal in some countries, but if others work as fertile grounds for crypto, they will leak into all others eventually. Specially if their advantages are too good to pass.
