Because Ted Cruz is now getting in on the cryptogrift, acquiring Bitcoin and tweeting about Bitcoin while voting to keep it underregulated.

I am interested in learning what bitcoin regulations you would find useful. And have you submitted any BIPs for your ideas? https://github.com/bitcoin/bips

Examples:

1. Sanctions against wallets to make scams less lucrative.

2. Carbon offsets for mining.

Neither will be accepted by BIPS, but the public demands it, so regulations will happen.
