This seems like a positive for the legitimization of cryptocurrency. Of course if you were trying to use it to avoid paying taxes you may feel otherwise. Hopefully it leads better forms and adoption by exchanges to provide useful tax documents.
Unfortunately for your tastes of fringe and buzzard society and people in it at large prefer stability and regular growth. I like a bit of both. We need the fringe and buzzard for society to grow and change, and as a parent and home owner I like to know that society is stable and that I’m not in danger of losing everything some how.
Anyway, not an easy balance but such is living in a society.
