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.

Bitcoin has always been descriminated by the government since it's feature offers decentralization making it run free without any involvement from the authority. I think we are already battling with it for long since there are some certain countries that has banned bitcoin. We already won for some reasons I guess, considering the fact that there are growing numbers of countries that are tolerating and regulating the use of cryptocurrency, regardless of planning or already implementing, like India and Venezuela.
