Personally i think alt crypto's survive in the future because they are anonymous. If everything gets regulated like the US wants, the whole idea behind crypto currency vanishes. And the US can regulate what they want, their terms is not going to overrule the rest of the world. Not this time. It sucks for the people who are living in the US, but the rest of the world stays anonymous. There will always be one country or state which does not want to regulate alt crypto's, so all hosting, planning etc. will be moved to that particular country.
Crypto currencies is based on anonymity.
Bad, bad, bad is anon in real world. Ok maybe good for thieves, and criminals. More people, devs, hacker scam and steal in crypto world. More people want anon, really?
Wouldn't you like those boys can be traced, prosecuted and arrested. If you have nothing to hide and have good intention why anon?. You can for sure use TOR if you want.
But really, i would like those people being caught and doing jail time if they scam and steal in crypto.
Would you like those whales, P&D teams and market manipulators being removed from crypto market. Let them try doing that in real market, they will be like Madoff doing jail.
To get crypto currency to financial institutions all over the world, it need's to be regulated and protected.
You can't ask for anon and at the same time cry about whales, scamers, p&d group. You want them to hide and never to be found even more.
Anon it's just a hype word, when this thing sings out in couple of months, some new thing somebody will give crypto, will be the next hype. Two years we are having hype words, as best new thing. Nobody even remembers what was the hype word 6 month's ago.
