What's with the infatuation with "regulations"? Regulations don't stop anything, in fact, they make things worse. Bitcoin was not designed to be regulated, it can't and doesn't need to be regulated. Any attempt to regulate it will result in more dark wallets, dark cryptos & deeper web usage.
Regulations didn't stop the mortgage frauds by banks, libor, insider trading, drug laundry, arms dealing, bank collapses or any other fiat world fraud - it's because of all the over regulation that Bitcoin has become so popular & needed.
Stuff regulations.
Quoted for truth. Bit coin is trustless. All the things built on it should be trustless as well. Regulations are designed to prevent breaches of trust. They also tend to come from the least trustworthy people of all: government officials.
Bit coin does not need permission to exist.
