All of this is basically:

* shitty people scamming other people: Yes, everyone knows. It happens with normal money as well. I regularly get "How to avoid scammers" emails from my bank too. As long as something has value someone will try to use it to scam someone else.

* mining: Yes we know, mining is bad. Nobody wants it, it's going away. Could it go away faster? Yes, but it will happen eventually. Ban mining for all I care, nobody really needs it.

The thing is, governments don't want people to get scammed, and so they act to prevent scam avenues. But unlike, say, the trad-bank system the percentage of "scam" vs "legit" operations in cryptocurrencies is drastically skewed to the "scam" side, made easier by the anonymity that cryptocurrencies provide by design.
