Bitcoin is easy to regulate.. I've talked to people regarding this subject, and it's not the honey badger everyone thinks it is.. I think people will learn this very soon. It will be a sad day when people realize that decentralization of power is the real question at hand. Politics will never be obsolete, and that was always a utopian ideal, but the philosophical musing wasn't for nothing - we can at least make it nonviolent. Self-regulation is a powerful idea that must be an essential aspect to the industry.
