Re: Will Bitcoin collapse by a global government crackdown?
With all the buzz lately of governments cracking down on cryptocurrencies, there has been fear among people with regards to Bitcoin and altcoins. This is one of the many reasons why 2018 experienced a sharp decline in the value of the whole crypto market, leaving many wonder the outcome of a complete government crackdown towards Bitcoin and other cryptos in the future.
As such, what do you think will happen with Bitcoin if all the governments of the world ban it? Will it collapse after the massive crackdown on every single cryptocurrency? Or will it survive? AFAIK, Bitcoin is largely dependent on nodes distributed geographically. The Internet is controlled by ISPs which are subject to government demands. If a global government crackdown happens, then the growth of Bitcoin and other cryptos might stale for sure.
Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this?
A ban of bitcoin enforced by all governments of the world at the same time does not seem possible to me, there will always be some countries willing to adopt bitcoin or at least to not regulate it, however in case that what you are describing happened that will surely crash the price since everyone will want to get out of it while they can, but remember the price of bitcoin is not everything, that will only slow down adoption but it will keep the technology intact.As such, what do you think will happen with Bitcoin if all the governments of the world ban it?
