I going to assume anyone in power who wants to outright ban or heavily regulate crypto-currency is in the pocket of big banks.

Doesn't really fit for west virginia but they also have their share of turmoil with massively unsafe mining yet peak corporate profits.

Isn't it obvious? West-Virginia's well-funded coal mining lobby doesn't like the competition from Bitcoin mining and moves one of their pawns to block it.
