Difference is, there is no one behind bitcoin. No one to arrest.
The only "real people" "behind" it are the Exchanges.
However, they(usually) hold proper documentation for transactions and comply with the law fully.

- ferdo 13y agoLet them bust a few miners. More will take their place.
- dwaltrip 13y agoIf miners are ever prosecuted, then that is a pretty big signal that the U.S. has completely lost its shit. Submitting the outputs of hash functions to a distribitued p2p network sounds like extremely basic free speech to me. As a young person with no wife/kids and plenty of tech job prospects, I would probably start researching moving abroad.
