Government is in a no win situation with regard to privacy coins. If they ban them, then if the price tanks and you sell, you end up with a potential write off. If the price goes up then it will be like weed all over again except that crypto is even more difficult to detect.

How do you ban something that can exist completely as an idea or string of numbers in someone's head? Are lobotomies coming for those who say they've memorized their seeds?

PS - You should have asked John about his 500K prediction. People forget that he didn't go from 50K to 100K to 1M. There was a 500K prediction summer 2017 that he stuck with for months, but John said that the metrics projected 2M due to the 20K of 2017 because he was expecting 5K at the end of 2017.
