On that subject, what are you going to do when we criminalize PoW cryptocurrency?

Think about the foot ball team. The soccer team. How they can force politics in your home town. What has cryptocurrency ever done for your community? Esports are the next big thing, and their is only one thing in the way. PoW cryptocurrency.
