The main mistake I see being made right now is all the black and white thinking. This is either the best thing that could possibly happen, or it's inherently evil, and that polarity doesn't exist. It's a lot of different things. Bitcoin is for enemies, so it's for governments, it's for individuals, it's for whatever you're going to use it for.
The Game Theory has to play out this way and it is almost amazing that the U.S. is actually taking a leadership role at this point because our incentives don't immediately drive that direction. So net net, I believe this is a good thing.
