Why America Can’t Regulate Bitcoin Review

I recently read an article titled “Why America Can’t Regulate Bitcoin”. It literally blew my mind. I will provide a brief summary of the contents but the reader should read the entire article to understand just how accurate the author is - https://twitter.com/Beautyon_ and how much diligence and research into case law was performed.

The text is protected by Freedom of Speech in the US Constitution. In order to regulate Bitcoin you have to remove the First Amendment. This article references case law which was proven in courts in the United States that Bitcoin is not money and judges had to throw out money laundering cases using Bitcoin because it’s not money.

I’m waiting for more deals to appear before making new moves. Some facts that are true regarding crypto right now are that social media companies are censoring posts related to crypto. As I mentioned in a previous post, some of the 2017 crypto growth is attributed to social media related to crypto. If censorship by major media continues, it will be harder to educate new users about crypto using these channels and onboard them. Another major marketing point which attracts new users is increases in the price of cryptocurrencies as highlighted by the news. If the price does not move up quickly, then this marketing bullet simply does not work. Also, since Coinbase was forced to stop allowing credit card transactions, new gateways and onramps to crypto have slowed down. If you would like to know my opinion on new value drivers f
