Nobody is trying to control Bitcoin, because it cannot be controlled.
They're trying to force all exchanges to follow the KYC guidelines, this isn't bad. Bitcoin IS involved in money laundering & drug trafficking. This is an attempt to reduce these crimes.
Nothing is happening to Bitcoin though.
Exchanges can move to whichever country they want, but they cannot operate in Europe unless they follow these European regulations. Thus, a European citizen would have to move out of Europe as well.
OK I will add some detail to my point. They can control the money when you exchange it back to fiat. This is what they are trying to do. Bitcoin as a store of value is fine but until you can buy a house with it in the EU then you are till going to have to exchange it back to fiat money. This is what they are trying to get control of.
It's not an attempt to reduce crimes, more crime is funded using US dollars that any other currency. This is another money grab pure and simple. They don't want you making money without giving them some of it. It's robbery pure and simple and we need to stop just lying down to it.
