I'm sure the people who made that decision still own VCRs and still don't know how to program them. I wouldn't be surprised if they pass a law keeping a register of people who buy pick-axes and shovels so they can track who is mining bitcoin. These old fucks are telling hackers and tech geeks what they can do with their computers? Yeah, that's like a middle school hall monitor telling El Chapo he needs to have a bathroom pass.
The FBI has some pretty strong positions on file sharing too but I still haven't paid for movies or music since the turn of the century.
Don't worry. As soon as politicians find out how easy it is to launder money and buy child pornography with bitcoin, they'll be behind it 100%
