Ok so there are people who say that crypto is decentralized and cannot be controlled by the government. How can this be true when the government can shut down the companies or networks where you are able to buy, sell, or send crypto? What do you guys think? Do you all think that crypto is truly decentralized and cannot be controlled by the government or can they? Maybe not directly but indirectly controlled?
Companies can be shut down by governments, but bitcoin network (blockchain) can not, that is the most important thing here which makes all the difference. We don't need third party services or platforms (companies like exchanges) to use bitcoin. So people saying crypto is decentralized and can't be controlled by the government are telling the truth.
On the other hand what can happen is a persecution from governments against crypto adopters for not respecting a bitcoin or crypto ban, for an example. But it's important to let clear these people won't be prevented from using bitcoin anyway.
