RE: US Lawmakers Draft Bill Protecting Cryptocurrencies from Gov Interference

in #us7 years ago

Well, it ain't gonna happen

"..protect them against interference from the federal government."

Firstly is taxation. If that isnt interference, I'll eat my hat.

Secondly, currency is just a tool.

A hammer can be used to build a house, break a window or crush a skull.

All worthwhile tools can be used by their posessers, for good or ill.

As soon as an authority can legislate how a tool can be used, it interfers with the creativity (good or bad) of the posessors/creator of said tool.
