    Lawmakers look to create "legal" cryptos (you know what that means for the others)

    CoinTelegraph reports that the bill, which will provide protection to cryptocurrencies that comply with certain minimum requirements to prevent them from being used by those engaged in illegal business practices like drug traffickers and terrorists, is expected to be filed in September 2017, according to DailyCaller.
    Based on a reliable source, at least one Republican senator and two Republican congressmen are working on the draft legislation.
    The legislators, however, have requested that should not be identified due to the sensitivity of the issue and the complexity of the proposed solution.
    A source close to the effort told TheDC,
    “the center piece of the plan is to mainstream digital currency so it can be treated just like the American dollar.

    First, there is a new entity that is considering issuing a brand new digital currency that is compliant with anti-money laundering laws unlike any other in circulation.”
    Although cash has some of the same problems being used to pay for illegal activities, the perception that digital currencies are being used for illegal activities is seen as the primary roadblock to wholesale acceptance by the American public.
    The source told TheDC the new model is going to follow federal laws that prevent money laundering. This is a break through and could lead to the use of digital currencies replacing the dollar for many transactions. The legislation is expected to be introduced in early September.
    The source asked the members of Congress involved in drafting the bill not be identified yet, explaining, “this is a very complicated issue and staff are working through some issues that have in the past stopped alternative currencies from being launched.”

    I'm sure it will be a perfect system for Big Brother. Tied to our social security, have to use some biometric device to authorize it is us starting a transaction, and the Gov can still inflate it all they want just like the US Dollar.
