Interesting interview. I have been taking a long time break from steem, after I lost~5400 Steem. Now I am back, trying to keep up with the people I follow:) Here in Romania, the Gov just passed a bill saying that all profit from selling cryptocurrencies will be taxed with 10%. I think that the majority of countries are just scared of what Bitcoin can do, and also the transparency it brings. I don't think they are so interested in protecting us. They are scared that if system like Bitcoin is introduced, the corrupt people will be unable to steal that much money out of our pockets. But this is just me... :)
