Thats funny of Vitalik very smart guy, but certain centralized events, if not all.... will always have these problems eventually, dont know what can be done about it.
Offshores , in many areas they are associated with heavy tax evasions... I love Monero for example but dont know what future of privacy crypto coins will be.... They have good uses but can also easily be abused by many types of shady entities out there, question is what can governments do about it, im not sure thats nothing.
