 Sure, you could - but Bitcoin’s border is the Internet. And Bitcoin exists to subvert the state. It is black market money for the base of the pyramid up. So saying this suggests a pathologically statist world view as well as a fundamental misunderstanding of #Bitcoin.

It implies that one is thinking about bitcoin as an industry that can be “owned” nationally in such a way that others cannot participate or competitors, or as something that can captured within a corporatists enclosure so that the faucet of its impact on society can be carefully throttled by the managerial class. Yet Bitcoin exists to DESTROY enclosures.
