Thanks for the update and Good article. However...

"Claims of being concerned about tax evasion and money laundering are valid as there will certainly be a lot of that going on in any unregulated industry with as much growth as the cryptospace has seen."

The absolute overwhelming majority of fraudulent behaviour, tax evasion and money laundering is actually done by Governments, Multinational Corporations and the banking/ruling classes themselves. So, they have to use FUD, lie and scapegoat the ordinary citizen to steal your wealth. It's an old game.
