To say they are barely aware is wrong. When fitting my tin foil hat into this mix. I have to be the one to pull the "they will scare people into dislikeing it" card. Right now as I see it in a very short time bitcoin has beaten the US dollar, euro and every other currency systen out there. 1 usd fr example isn't even worth the paper it's printed on. But 1 bitcoin is worth a little over 100 of those worthless dollars.
They can't really stop you from accepting it as currency if so they would need to go after folks that work for a case of beer. Or fixssomeones shitter for a lawn mower engine repair etc. In theory strength in being able to do labor is currency one can without fail work within his means for food.
So to what end does the line actually draw? I believe like many it will buckle up and go for a huge ride with the children. Btc makes it way easy for a person to hide his actions. Individuals under the age of 18 do have the right to make money however they do not have the right to spend that money in most cases the same way an adult does.
Most people accepting btc do not ask for someones age or proof of age. It's easy to access paid porno, gamble, purchase bootleg booze tobacco and hell as we all know contraband. These are the facts of life that exist with every currency yes. But BTC is the new kid in town. So it's nitpicked a hell of a lot more then what is dubbed "safe".
They will over look the give and take. Such in example as pulling btc out to the central banks to buy products from eBay, amazon etc. And hell even pay on a water bill or car loan. Instead like said they will look at that percent of people who are fucking up and getting caught only to blame bitcoin for enableing them to preform the action to begin with.
It's very much like what happend to midway when they released mortal kombat. It was all well and fine til little Johnny tried to pull his sisters spine out of her asshole. Now we have the ESRB as a reward for Johnny inability to handle his mental health and his parents inability to be self aware of what was fact and fiction
