Nigga puuulleez. If it wasn't for illegal activities bitcoin would have no value at all. Those fuckers need us.

It's just the civilian and investment sector of bitcoin saving face. Over all, it's a good thing. It won't interfere with us too much if we continue to take the precautions we already take.

“It’s no secret that Bitcoin has perception issues, which is a roadblock to mainstream adoption. Having an open dialogue with law enforcement and policymakers will help reduce anxiety about this transformative technology,” said Perianne Boring, President of the Chamber of Digital Commerce.

Boring indeed

Maybe it's time that markets switched to an anonymous crypto currency?

Monero and others come to mind.

They're your enemy, period. They're not here to uphold the constitution, but to uphold, reverend, and worship the 1%. Here's your communion piggies: tap water and wonder bread directly from Joesph Smith, Mormon, and your God: Moloch.
