I Love America.....BUTsteemCreated with Sketch.

Before we get started, I want everyone to know, I absolutely love my country and this is not a 'DIS' towards it.

With that being said, I would like to dispense my thoughts on its governing of things.
STOP TELLING US WHAT WE CAN'T DO!

Don't get me wrong, there are some things that make more sense stopping people from doing, as in certain drugs because it can cause people to hurt others. Drinking and driving because it can cause injury to others. Stealing because it causes financial and emotional injury to others. Do you see the key word that keeps popping up though? The word (others) . If an action or product can involuntarily hurt others then i totally understand the regulation of that action or product. This brings me to my major point.
WHY THE HELL IS CRYPTOCURRENCY AND ONLINE GAMBLING SITES BEING SHUT DOWN EVERYWHERE?
I used to play on an online poker site, named PokerStars. It was great fun and i made a nice amount of income doing what i really enjoy doing. I even bought a brand new laptop strictly to carry around with me to play PokerStars anywhere I was at anytime. It was the only thing i used that laptop for. It was like being on vacation all the time. Get paid for playing cards.

One morning i wake up, grab a cup of coffee and open my laptop. I click the link to go put some players on tilt and I find this message practically punching me in the face, without a 2 minute warning.

At first I thought maybe it was just something temporary that would go away after some problems got cleared up, but that was not the case. Come to find out everywhere else in the world was still allowed to play on this site except for people who live in America. Yes, that's right, everyone in the world is still allowed to play except for people who live in the land of the free. SO TELL ME, HOW DOES POKER HURT (OTHERS) ???

My current fear today is the same thing happening with Cryptocurrency. What if you wake up and see the same message that I saw, but on your favorite exchange site? How can we prevent this? Just like poker, it does not hurt others. If you lose your money, it is only hurting yourself and it is your choice to invest or not invest.

That is my two cents for today. Make today and everyday the best day!
