It is inevitable that all governments eventually mine bitcoin IMO.

Where I get off the bus is advocating for mathematical equations and code is a 2nd amendment issue because of the numerous attack vectors it opens up.

If restrictions are placed on who can buy, own, manufacture, distribute due to sanctions on the few countries that produce the very machines we need to secure the network we are gifting control to the government.

Individuals and private companies must be allowed to buy and produce equipment like they do currently, and freely interact with one and other and point their hash wherever they so choose.

Consider how the government tramples on the 2nd amendment and the rights of private citizens now, then apply those types of restrictions to bitcoin mining and apply some adversarial thinking.

Hope this has made my position a bit clearer
