I've been saying this for a while as well. Centralized entities coming in and trying to bend the system to their will is only going to give strength to decentralized blockchains.

Facebook coin? Thanks for the legitimacy. Fedcoin? Again, thank you. Blockchain patents? Decentralized movements don't have to obey. Just like you can't shut down Pirate Bay and P2P torrents you can't stop crypto. You can only help it or stay neutral.
