I'm imagining this 10 year flag where it drops back to nothing after government bans and then 10 years later it finally breaks 10,000 (or whatever ath was) again as we struggle to watch what is going on in decentralized exchanges and hand to hand transactions.
other than straightforward cloning of humans (which is not a standalone scientific breakthrough, but an nightmarish possibility that arose out of genetic engineering progress) and some crazy mass destruction weapons) I cannot think of ANY technology that has been banned by governments worldwide.
can you name me a new technology that has been banned? why on earth would bitcoin be the first one? digitization of our entire culture is inevitable. digitization is in the sam e league as industrialization. it cannot be stopped.
