The EU hates digital currency do you think the EU will ban bitcoin but that will be a big problem. 
I don't think they have any reason to hate bitcoin so why would they ban it but if what you are saying is true, another DIP will happen and it will be a huge problem for the whole crypto community. they have every interest in blocking cryptos but they are aware that they can not do it ... and then so they will try to recycle themselves
and their control system to protect their status quo by creating a virtual but centralized currency ... Like ripple for example
