I disagree, without the US the world will have lot more criminals who are not scared of the law. The btc-e shutdown is a good example. No one has the balls to shut down criminal enterprises like the us justice system does. The SEC has a goal to protect US investors. This is a much needed check to prevent all the dumb alt coins and ICOs raise a ton of money without a product
