I thought the gov considered cryptos to be "personal property?"
How is it illegal to broker personal property? |

Lots and lots and lots of laws and regulations on banking, cash transactions, and the like in the name of anti-terrorism, the drug war, and anti-money laundering. That is what they will have jammed up these people on. They're 100% bullshit that's all about the government being able to track what you do with your money to ensure they get their unfair share.

The small company my wife worked for was raided by armed IRS agents because the owners were pulling shady financial deals with nursing homes. The IRS cared that the IRS wasn't getting their due, but didn't give a shit the business owners were cheating their employees out of 401k and other wages. Someone explain to me how .gov is different from organized crime? Maybe it's that .gov has absolutely no heart? |

I doubt the government cares so much about getting their cut as much as they care about people utilizing a currency that exists outside the system boundaries of their modern monetary theory moneyprinter-goes-brrrrrr pyramid scheme.
