I would choose no 2 to support another coin, because I really do not like when finances are controlled.
I choose bitcoin because I have complete control over my finance.
That's true...
But we should fight against this if we don't want BTC to get regulated, as we have the control and not the governments, so why to get that control slipped from our hands???
What control do you have over your bills and taxes in your daily life? You just do what the government tells you to do and if they outlaw Bitcoin for example there is noting you/we could do about it.
There is a lot you can do, if you are not satisfied with the people you elected into those positions. You voice your concerns and you withhold your vote or vote against them in the next elections. < That is to say, if you live in a democratic country >
If they do ban Bitcoin, you just have to shift your operation to another country where it is legal. This way a lot of job opportunity and skills will be lost to the country who ban Bitcoin.
Last option is to take it to the black market, like they did with booze and cigarettes. Obviously that will be your last option. < Trading between trusted individuals > It will always have value, because it will never be banned in all countries.
