The approach used by our government in solving some safety issues is quite ridiculous. Guns and knives have been used to cause harm to people for centuries, does that mean they should be eradicated despite how dangerous it is.
There are other ways to ensure the safety of funds and the usage of crypto currency by scammers. They can't just eradicate people's source of income because they consider it to be harmful. They are just being ignorant to the truth and refusing to accept the innovative ideas brought by crypto currency.
