Bitcoin is permissionless on an individual level but when you want to use it as a business... the local regulation is a choke point... 

Education of the right regulation and in some cases, forcing the hand of the regulators is essential for mass permissionless adoption

If bitcoin is a permissionless system, why are people seeking government approval, the very government that bitcoin is trying to liberate humanity from?

Why not teach the people bitcoin? Bitcoin is meant to be a monetary tool solely for the individual. Peer-peer, that's what it is. Ever since I discovered bitcoin, I've been using it without seeking for permission from any bank or government. It's up to the people to understand bitcoin.

A tool by itself cannot liberate a man from slavery, only when he decides to educate him about the tool on how to use it, will then be able set himself free. Bitcoin education is the key.
