It’s exactly the same in the regard that none could ever remotely be completely successful. Tons of people still do drugs, there are still terrorists, and in much of the same way crypto will always persist. It is really hard to fight against ideas.That is why privacy features are important. That makes it not so traceable doesn’t it. Look... I don’t know when it is going to shift but at some point governments will either create some sort of trap where they offer a centralized digital currency or they will take an antagonistic approach towards decentralized currencies... or hell maybe both. If it weren’t for the many other uses for Blockchain I think they would have already tried to shut it down.
