Yea thats pretty much how it came about
About the future:
Well did some govermnts shut down bitcoin already? What if all gvrmnts do it? Do we have to buy and shot to orbit our own satelite? Do we have to start developing an alternate underground internet web? Beyond the sewers? Between the trees and under the bridges? At our own building heights? So central pirate or clandestine servers and antennas of each city can be conected to internet users shelters? This is just hypotetical... I know im talking too far but... what if?
I think that a lot of governments most notably China had/has a problem with the Bitcoin concept
bacause they loose control of financial transactions to a degree.
But
Take Japan for instance they are embracing Bitcoin as a means of payment because I think they
realise that Bitcoin and Crypto in general when its decentralised cannot control it.
The internet in todays form cannot be banned or "switched off" because it is an intrinsic part
of the workings of society for banking and communication. An individual country i free to restrict
or ban certain web pages etc. such as Turkey banning Wikipedia in their country.
