I believe in that 2 years, they’ll discover the truth for themselves. That there’s nothing that they can do to put the genie back in the bottle. The invention of Bitcoin has opened a Pandora’s Box with new possibilities. It definitely WILL BE harder for the central bankers to control the monetary system, but they did that to themselves.
That is the most logical course that things should take. Though it takes one back to the same question.
How far will nation-states go in their pursuit to suppress bitcoin and stop it from loosening their grip on power?
VERY FAR. That’s why it’s to the utmost importance that Bitcoin is given the ability to scale out in order to decentralize further, and over-shoot security. Then what design-decisions should the Core developers make? Smaller blocks, layered protocol.
