why would a successful cryptocurrency scare regulators? bitcoin is "successful". coinbase and popular wallets are "regulated" (reported to IRS, etc.)

Facebook controlling what is equivalent to a central bank is scaring regulators. No one wants Mark in charge of the money supply.

Partnering with a project that isn't Facebook helps with that (at least a little bit)
