With its ATH close to reoccurring, Bitcoin is center staged and is believed to have complete protection by the First Amendment, wherein every transaction in Bitcoin will be believed to be a Bond and nothing less than a trail of email leading to a speech like protocol.
This is innovation without government interference, but not regulating and taxing capital gains, and investments will be the last thing to eliminate other scams related to cryptocurrencies.
#Bitcoin is open source software that should be protected by the First Amendment. It is a system of relaying messages (speech) that is, in essence, no different than the email protocol. Regulating/taxing Bitcoin will lead entrepreneurs to flee the US for friendlier jurisdictions.
