What is the success?
If I would be the Banker and You as Satoshi Come to me ask to invest.?
I have to ask what is the utility?
And When btc Will Move from pow to pos?
Or better If no pow or pos.
I just dont see success and likely government are Same rational and logically thinkers They Will ban btc.
Btc Mining takes just way too much electricity
Fees are expensive yet Still slow no segwit no lighting Network
It just dont smell like success.
You probably don't see success because you are late or consider yourself to be late, if you were to be an early adopter maybe you would have a different view about it, government don't consider whether btc is pos or pow, this not the reason why they are cracking down on btc every now and then, their focus is to prevent people from having control of their assets because btc as a decentralized asset gives that privilege, what you mentioned is far from the reason why government is strict to crypto.
