Show me a U.S. law that says that "printing money at home" is illegal.
You might be thinking of these, but they obviously do not apply to cryptocurrency.
18 U.S. Code § 472 - Uttering counterfeit obligations or securities
Whoever, with intent to defraud, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or with like intent brings into the United States or keeps in possession or conceals any falsely made, forged, counterfeited, or altered obligation or other security of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
18 U.S.C. § 486. Uttering coins of gold, silver or other metal
Whoever, except as authorized by law, makes or utters or passes, or attempts to utter or pass, any coins of gold or silver or other metal, or alloys of metals, intended for use as current money, whether in the resemblance of coins of the United States or of foreign countries, or of original design, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
Also, if you are going to say that something is defined as 'blah blah blah", at least use an accepted definition, and not some definition that you have invented.
The U.S. government does not define cryptocurrency as a "commodity". FinCEN defines it as a "virtual convertible" currency, where "virtual" means "not legal tender", "convertible" means easily convertible to "real" currency.
For taxation purposes, the IRS considers a cryptocurrency to be a "property".
