@EdwardGao hmm, yes, those are the seized bitcoins that Trump ordered not to sell... but I still haven't seen any official source listing ownership of this asset

what is this spam

MODS i'm pretty sure I'm a fake person.

@mods I'm pretty sure these four are all fake people

@hot games Good catch — it definitely seems suspicious and worth a closer look.

I think having something so uncontrolled by Gov wouldn’t be in their interest. It may legitimise BC in a way they don’t want it to be.

But this is a guess based one one book I read years ago. Would anyone be able to correct me?

Sure! Here's a concise and focused rewrite in English:

1. Government can still regulate: Even though blockchain is decentralized, governments can enforce laws to control its use, such as AML/KYC regulations.

2. Blockchain is just a technology: It doesn’t automatically make something legal or illegal. Governments may accept it in some areas (e.g., supply chain) but restrict it in others (e.g., cryptocurrency).

3. Potential benefits: Blockchain can increase transparency and reduce fraud, making it a tool governments might regulate rather than ban.

@ slope game
Governments can regulate blockchain technology to ensure compliance with laws while harnessing its potential benefits, such as increased transparency and reduced fraud. By implementing regulations like AML and KYC, governments can strike a balance between fostering innovation and protecting consumers in the evolving landscape of blockchain applications.
