I rather see governments and politicians losing power, rather than gaining more power
Yes, I know, we don't like custodians holding #bitcoin and we don't like politicians. But, governments and politicians are a part of life. I much rather prefer politicians who have a stake in the game than politicians who wage "war on crypto" and try to roadblock anything and everything associated with it. https://coinpedia.org/news/trumps-top-economic-adviser-reveals-crypto-ties-with-5m-coinbase-stake/

Agree with that. I guess my thinking is that with the "war on crypto" crowd the goal was for the to gain more power to tell people what you can/cannot do. The trend now, with politicians, "getting in" should conceivably lend toward a more leave us alone mentality. No guarantees, of course, the government always finds a way in, especially if there's money involved. (Probably the whole reason they pay attention now anyway.)
