Bitcoin is by design not tied to the "State" if you will or in another words it makes the central bank obsolete but it still must operate withing the state and within the legal framework of finance and state criminal laws.
After all this years you guys are still getting it wrong; using Bitcoin is not about running away from your real world identity where you would freely be able to buy illicit goods and services. It is about decentralizing trust; giving the people the control of their money and it is about micropayments.
In today world of central banks, commercial banks and credit card companies like Visa and Mastercard, you depend on them to process your transactions but in the Bitcoin type system, P2P network nodes process your transactions.
Banal example is when Visa and Mastercard mangle and eventually ban Porn related transactions. In the Bitcoin world, mining nodes collect the fees and don't care what you pay for. State decides what is legal and what is illegal not credit card companies who act upon their gut feeling of what transactions are "bad" and which ones are "good".
