all of your example are agency or industry that have build somethings commercialized and exchanges by fiat currency... now we are talking about the sostituion of the fiat currency (government) with another system where the government cannot put their hands over... i am pretty sure that the government isn't be happy of this and will block all the ways (like facebook's coin).
@tybiboune
the value depend totally by the folks... if there is guys that spend 1.000$ for an iphone the next year the new models will cost 1.100$... but if nobody bought it for 1.000$ the price will decrease... the value is important but is a objective and subjective things at the same time... i will never buy an iphone, for example, for 6M upx or 3M upx now because i feel to believe in this project that i will prefer hold my coins today for will buy more tomorrow.
my mind is in contrast, I believe in projects and ideas but I have no vision of where they will be in the future ... this at the same time excites me.
You've got a good point about the governments' opposition to this trend... And the facebook example is a very good one, because facebook was to become probably the most potentially spread crypto ever, with the current app adoption. That's probably why govts jumped on every possibility to shut it down before it's even born (let's not be naive, if those big partners suddenly decided to get out, I'm pretty sure that's because of governments' pressure on them.)
The same way as the US govt used pressure on the US big companies to force them stop doing commerce with China is quite a blatant proof of that control.
If the governments continue that way, how do you see the future of all cryptocurrencies projects that are not backed and supported by banks / govts already? And anonymous, moreover... Aren't we in a huge bottleneck?
I mean... as soon as uPlexa gets the worldwide spread potential adoption it deserves, the govts will probably decide to act as they did with facebook's libra. If they force Google & Microsoft to "block" everything uplexa-related, those big industries will have no choice but bending.
How do you see a future for this?
i want reply at your question with another question... How you can stop something that cannot be stopped because you don't know who there is behind? the most important or maybe the fundamental force of BTC is this... nobody know who is behind and nobody can be multed, taxed, arrested or killed for stop it... one of the more important state or governments will can denied BTC on his country but this will sign the growth of the others. all the others project for survive must agreed the therms of his existance with the governments... sad story tonight, maybe too many beers.
BTC is actually not hard to trace, it has no privacy features, and as the only exchanges allowing reasonable withdrawals come with KYC, you can imagine nobody can really hide.
The problem is not about governments blocking a 'coin' in itself.. Of course the chains will keep on working, so technically speaking nothing can be 'stopped' just by a government's wish.
But what governments can do and probably will, is pressurize all the companies that and businesses that are still linked to the fiat system, declaring gains, paying taxes... So that those businesses would either have to pay huge taxes just because they're using crypto as a payment systems for their clients, or they would just be declared illegal. The only problem thing required to have something become illegal is to vote for laws. That doesn't involve everyday people, but those ones who govern only...
If trump can force Google not to allow Chinese phone companies to use Android (an open source os) on their new phones, I guess he can as easily ban any use of crypto for all the US registered companies.
So long for the use cases and mass adoption, if things go that way... The only thing left would be xrp. Nice future, I wouldn't want to be alive when this happens
