Binance just announced that their US platform would be ready in weeks. The question is, what's on the mind of the American government concerning crypto. Isn't it possible they're trying to control it like the USD?
They cannot control decentralized crypto. The likes of Libra sure, but not Bitcoin. Its not a matter of wanting, they simply can't control it. Regulating it requires cooperation from their fellow citizens, but they cannot stop said citizens from keeping secret wallet/transactions...
Bitcoin is something that happened, in-spite of governments. Some don't know what to do about it, but they cannot make it disappear. I guess regulation is the next best they can do, unless they give up fully and authorize it freely the way it should be.
Its probably just a matter of time... State and Money are no longer the same anymore.
