This is just the kind of thinking (nonsense) that will continue to relegate bitcoin out of the mainstream. It makes no sense from a legislative standpoint to make the actual 'system' of bitcoin illegal, instead, your income and unreported transactions will violate tax codes. Law enforcement will pursue those violations, not the system of bitcoin itself. This is the same as law enforcement currently pursuing people downloading illegal content from torrents, not people using torrents for legitimate purposes.
