What a ridiculous argument. Even if it's "well intentioned", that doesn't mean it's not trying to take away a freedom from you. I'm sure NSA was well-intentioned, too, post 9/11 - at least initially before they discovered what power they have, but that's a whole other issue.

You could also agree that Bitcoin needs to be banned, and that banning it is taking a freedom away from you. They are not exclusive.

What worries me most is that they will try to ban the protocol, and not just the USD-Bitcoin and Bitcoin-USD exchanges. Banning the protocol could have much greater negative consequences in the world of programming and cryptography, and it's probably not constitutional anyway.
