 Former presidential advisor Pippa Malmgren on the legalization of Bitcoin:

"If you make crypto and Bitcoin legal [...] you can't hold them anonymously, you have to declare them."

"You're not going to be able to escape the reach of the US Government. [...] And because we're in the data age, you can't have Bitcoin accounts that nobody knows about." 

"It's on your phone, its detectable, and again, we've got a government now full of tech bros that know how to read your digital twin incredibly easily."

Legalization always has been a Trojan Horse for censorship.
