Yeah, but then what's the point?

If the whole point of cryptocurrencies is to work around the government and cryptocurrencies are going to strip them of various tools they use (control over inflation and monetary mass, monetary controls in the sense of taking money outside of a country, etc), governments will most likely not allow that, for pretty solid reasons.

It's an interesting experiment, I'll grant it that. But I don't think it can have its cake and eat it, too. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
