I find it very interesting that Bitcoin is getting discussed in some of the highest offices around the world. I'd love to relax and say things are "okay", and be cautiously optimistic, but then again... the other side is waiting for the hammer to come down.
Well, the worst this can be portrayed is as the UK government trying to appear like they're "not out of touch", and "engaging in action", when they're actually just associating it with the upper echelons to help kick the can down the road for a while longer ("the wheels of justice turn slowly"). It's not what I would have expected really, as per my above comment. Possible machiavellan motive that is escaping me, but this seems a high stakes way to approach a crackdown. After all, we're only using Bitcoin to hide the fact we're a bunch of cocaine smoking, child abusing, terrorist, ethnic hatred inciting contract killers. And rioters. Can't forget rioters
