This is quite contradictory, because nakamoto projected bitcoin as a revolutionary trade system operated peer to peer without a third part to regulate and tax the transactions. But what we see today are exchanges that soon or later Will be heavely regulated and Banks willing to profit from something designed to exclude them... what a turnaround in history!
Well he said no one could regulate Bitcoin (of course without controlling the network with the miners) but that doesn't mean that people can't regulate the purchasing of Bitcoin with fiat, so it's not like Bitcoin is REALLY being regulated with these new laws and such. It's the means of using your fiat currency to buy Bitcoin, which is being regulated. Evidently, this does make buying Bitcoin and getting more people, involved with Bitcoin much harder. As a lot of people aren't going to want to join into a project that the government isn't HAPPY with and is actively trying to hurt through regulation.
Bank war is inevitable, we're fighting them and they WILL fight back.
