Bitcoin was created as a distributed p2p cryptocurrency where no single entity (should) have control over it
If you want to continue to be a sheep then stick with your government issued currency, bitcoin is not for you.
(the next thing you might propose is that your beloved government may take complete control over the network, change the 21 million btc cap and issue them at their own will.
They will then call it "Dollars" and even print them for ease of use! )
+1, regulation will not bring crypto currency certainty. The only certainty it would bring is control to one governing body. That would actually undermine the entire purpose of it's creation. Yes, some regulations to deter illicit activities may help make bitcoin a little more mainstream, but other than that, it would be creating another mini federal reserve (which I think we can all agree that we don't want/need).
