All that is just nonsense and of course this is a game of global elites and the central government, which I know is that a lot of news wants to drop bitcoin, even though behind that there is interference from global governments, so they can supply so much bitcoin, because they know more about bitcoin and they have designed a plan to reduce prices in all markets in 2018 yesterday, so the point is they make a lot of people panic, so that everyone throws away the bitcoin and they wait for the moment they have designed as well as possible ...

Well, there's no doubt that governments control what happens in the mainstream world. While Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies are decentralized, many exchanges are most certainly not. Because of this, governments have some sort of power over the trading or exchange of cryptocurrencies around the world. If decentralized exchanges would've dominated the market, I'm sure that it'll become much more difficult for any government to try to stop Bitcoin. Of course, there's always the option of P2P or in-person trades. However, it'll never be the same as trading Bitcoin via exchanges.

Given how Blockchain technology as advanced, it's becoming more difficult for governments to gain control of any cryptocurrency we know and love today. Bitcoin being the most prominent cryptocurrency, is the largest Blockchain in terms of hashrate and user support. For Bitcoin to truly collapse by a global government crackdown, the whole Internet needs to collapse too (which is something nearly impossible).

Nonetheless, a good thing that has Bitcoin is that it's resilient, allowing it to survive many events in the real world. Just my opinion
