As I had encountered that day by day more people are joining bitcoin inspite of its sky rocketing price and day by day more and more government and other agencies are coming against bitcoin so will bitcoin stay alive and will it be able to invite new user in the network?
What could they do?
Speaking out bans? Worldwide? Not going to happen!
And even if they could take control over Bitcoin or destroy it, the technology is out of the bottle!
There will be other decentralized coins, with more privacy. The shift will happen, if the incumbents like it or not.
The harder they will try to control Bitcoin, the worse it will get for them.
So yes I believe Bitcoin will stay alive, without being controlled by the big bad guys.And as I said, there will be other choices, much more venomous than what BTC is!!
