  How long has it taken for these Ponzi schemes to be seen for what they are.   Remote anonymity is open to exploitation?  Agree with you John - the rest of the world needs to follow suit..... sadly there are enough corrupt governments and gullible consumers around to keep the pyramid building going!

  Just as I was thinking the UK government showed no sign of intelligent life at all we get this... "The influential cross-party Committee of MPs declared that cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin have no intrinsic value and serve no useful social purpose, while consuming large amounts of energy and being used by criminals in scams, fraud and money laundering." Wow, there is at least someone in there with a brain!

  Ether and bitcoin have no intrinsic value and use a lot of energy? Please read up and check the facts. Ether has virtually zero energy usage nowadays and both crypto’s have increasing numbers of user cases which puts their value above zero. Is it volatile and speculative and do you need consumer protection? For sure.
