Are you really comparing baby lobsters to key-pairs?

Private property right go back to the Magna Carta and form the basis of the US Constitution and it's Bill of Rights.

If you believe it's governments duty to control all property rights than your a Marxist and to be honest, I have no interest in debating you.

Not all property rights no, of course not, however it's fairly obvious that the government has the freedom and/or duty to impose restrictions on property as necessary.

Bitcoin is regressive and would be harmful to the economy if it obtained widespread adoption, and therefore, the government has the right to curtail its use and ownership.
