Derails into communist nonsense in last part)* This is not actually the official Bitcoin website. There is no official Bitcoin-anything since it is a decentralized protocol (math and software). Bitcoin is more like gravity. We can regulate airspace, but we all must follow the law of gravity. Similarly, Bitcoin itself cannot be regulated any more than the force of gravity.Just like gravity does not "Know" or "care" if you are thrown out of a helicopter to your death by powerful criminals, bitcoin does not know or care if you, a sack of meat, end up bludgeoned to death by a government cartel that does not like the arithmetic you are carrying out. Bitcoin carries on regardless and will outlive and eventually impoverish all those who make a living via criminality.
