Digital currency is to change the world, many of which were positive, to a certain extent, they pose a containment of the government, gave the people an alternative, but that doesn't mean they don't need to be regulated.
One of the core reason is: anonymous, do not track, not regulated digital currency will make form a closed loop technology crime, money laundering and terrorist, and disappear from unsolved bits, bytes, while the impact damage with each person in this world.
If every penny of extortion is tracked, is there enough motivation and courage to launch a WannaCry to attack the world?
It is a tricky issue, they wanna do a regulation thing to control the bitcoin, but we already know that bitcoin is a system which is decentralized, also when some people using bitcoin for a criminal things, it was not the bitcoin fault, it does not make any sense when people do criminal things and blame another things. So, it depends on the people who use the currency, No matter what kind of currency they use.
