Recently Brett Sherman was nominated to chair of Investor Protection, Entrepreneurship and Capital Markets. He will surely have the power to influence bills that can get introduced into Congress. He has been incredibly anti-bitcoin and will surely try to pass bills that will stifle the growth of the industry. Also recently BIS head has been advocating Central Banks begin to use digital currencies for themselves. This will surely play out as a way to out-compete crypto.

Are we ready for when governments restrict / sanction any capital flow into exchanges? How prepared are we for these things?
I think governments and authorities have no rights to stop the existence of crypto currency because of its users. Many companies and First World Country use the bitcoins and crypto coin to make a transaction so the result governments have a hard time to stop its existence especially in the near future because we are in the digital age now.
