Tell me about all those government regulations that Open Source adheres to? O wait, there isn't such an idiocy. What about all those government regulations for the mafia, those mafias were almost untouchable with their blockchains, if it wasn't for Capone the mafia would still be in now.

OMG don't tell me you could be that simple minded. The government(s) set the rules/laws. Law enforcement enforces them. There basically still is a mafia...it's just that now they know their limits, they got put in their place.....they don't get to make the rules, they don't get to rule. The powers that be do that and sometimes people just happen (not that I agreeing with it all) to have to be reminded of that. It's I say you do, not I do and f you...is that getting any clearer?
You are so dreaming, I guess the prisons will just fill up with those creating blockchains to manage their crypto's through. What you don't understand is that eventually that technology will be taken, the governments are not going to allow anyone but themselves to run the monetary system in the world, anyone moving forward to build opposing monetary blockchain systems will go to prison, one right after the other, they will find a way. The analogy about the mafia was that they decided to set up their own distribution and protection system which required others to pay into it from their profits. They tried to control the flow of goods and services. Yes it was not technology linked, of course, but it shows you what happens when other forces try to set up their own system over the governments.
You sir can sometimes be a ordinary foolish one, yes you will not stop everyone but you will stop the vast majority and that's what will limit the power behind unregulated blockchains/crytos. What happened when people started pirating music?...did the music industry sit there and say it's such a huge and uncontrollable situation that we can't handle? No it did not. It started arresting the little johnies stealing their music and prosecuting them. What happened in our state after our governor upped taxes on cigarettes and people started ordering them from out of state on their computers? Did she just say well it's just so vast and wide a problem we can't get a grip on it...no she didn't, she went after them and filed charges against them. You see your problem is, and from being on here I can see why because there is no lack of people like you, that there may be people who want to rebel and will give up life and liberty for their cause but the very vast majority of people won't and they will just go with the flow, because they are content with what they got not what they won't have when the government gets done with them.
