1. So what? Politicians also cannot change the laws of physics that govern paper money transactions, yet paper money is regulated.

2. That is not an issue of regulation.

I was just listing aspects of Bitcoin that are "unregulatable".

Regulation = laws = rules = instructions to cops when to apply rubber hose.

Bitcoin reduces these threats by more than 90%.
