“Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) said recent moves by the Internal Revenue Service, private Bitcoin entrepreneurs and other government officials have buoyed his faith in the government’s ability to ‘get more of a handle’ on digital cash.  ‘Sure, it makes us look at it differently,’ said Manchin. ‘It sure will. When I said what I said, it was because it was totally unencumbered. The whole thing lent itself to a lot of improprieties — especially in the underworld, if you will, whether it be drugs or arms.’  Pointing to restrictions on Bitcoin levied by China, South Korea and Thailand, Manchin urged U.S. officials to ‘prohibit this dangerous currency from harming hardworking Americans.'”
