Assuming you're not being facetious, I'm sure many of us were around to get ****ed by the UIGEA. That directly assaulted and damaged the global online poker market. It was a set of banking regulations.
BTC, crypto, etc are all definitely on the gov't radar. Black Friday happened specifically because Full Tilt and PokerStars became too big to not notice (the money moving around). And the gov't will do whatever the **** it wants to do, as usual. In my limited knowledge of crypto, they can't stop BTC et al just like they can't stop online poker in America, but they damn sure have other avenues to choke its viability off. Remember, online poker took a heavy blow from banking regulations, not some gambling edict.

Like what? I know that seems like a silly question to ask bc I'm asking you to tell me the unforeseen, but your post implies you know something everyone else doesn't, so I ask the question in that sense.
