spot on buddy... the entire "steem economy" supposed to be private and inivisible hence non regualted by the state or anyone. As you pointed out already this will only force a major pullback in the end when restrictions are put in place. The only option I can think of in given situation is moving into a country with little or none restrictions of such... of course this is only a soultion for an individual however not for an entire community/ platform.

I would reccon you may add another zip of Whisky in your coffee. I will have one too :)
