Mike Crapo, chairman banking commission, 2019 “If the US were to decide — and I’m not saying that it should — [...] if we don’t want cryptocurrency to happen in the United States and tried to ban it, I’m pretty confident we couldn’t succeed" https://www.forbes.com/sites/ktorpey/2019/07/30/us-lawmakers-are-realizing-they-cant-ban-bitcoin/?sh=2ab6ab5b3e31">https://www.forbes.com/sites/kto...

Finally an appeal to Logic 101:
- Governments are made of people
- People act in their own self interest
- Govt employees justify their existence by passing/enforcing laws
- But Bitcoin NGU technology is more powerful
- Govt officials will hold Bitcoin
- NGU will do the rest
Imagine being a govt bureaucrat and deciding to spend all day writing laws to line the pockets of corporations for some debased lobby funny-money vs writing laws to make your own Bitcoin NgU effect stronger.
