It sounds like you want bitcoin to conform to the old ways of legacy finance. I want legacy finance to bend the knee to an open source math equation.
Privately owned bitcoin isn't "in the shadows". It's how all money should be. Neutral and private.
I would encourage you to read this paper. It outlines how bitcoin was designed to be used as peer-to-peer cash: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
you cannot 'save the world' if you are in jail from tax-evasion.
it has been tried. it doesn't work.
we need a complete solution, political, economic, social, and most importantly educational

I'm not talking about tax evasion.
I am talking about peer to peer cash.
Are you under the impression that the government should control bitcoin?
reply
you know exactly what i'm saying. buying a coffee is a taxable event, and mom-and-pop shops + small businesses don't really want to touch it until this issue gets resolved.
reply
So, you don't think mom and pop shops should use bitcoin?
It sounds like you think Government should own us all like slaves.
reply
i think they should. but i don't think they will, until the tax issue gets resolved.
and i personally believe it will but will take time
