The freedom, unlimited potential, and the life-changing components of cryptocurrency are systematically being dismantled and might eventually be placed out of the reach of the common investor (at least here in the U.S.).
And why the people are allowing this on the so called "land of the free"? The actual power is in the hands of the people. They should not let Wall Street, nor anyone/anything else suppress them.
I wish it was that easy, @xplosive. Corruption runs so deep that protesting or voting doesn't spark much (if any change) because most who run for political offices are now working for banks and corporations and not the people.
This is very familiar. Nowadays something very similar is happening in my country (in Hungary) too. Looks like this is an international/worldwide thing.
