As crypto/Blockchain tech becomes more popular, mainstream banks and governments will be forced to take action against this emerging industry to stop its growth worldwide.
They don't want to people to use crypto on top of Fiat, so we'll be seeing new tactics from said entities in order to destroy crypto for good.
No, I do not agree with these statements. Thats seems like more of a totalitarian government where freedom of speech is crushed by the government, something that is not normal for a democracy to move in and something that is feared by many people and therefore the thought.
Government want innovation and they want its citizens to create new things for them to boast of. Going backwards in civilization is not what they wish to do.
One of those tactics could be either banning people from trading crypto at a centralized exchange or simply prosecuting developers of a cryptocurrency project. I believe the latter option is much easier and effective for governments to put an end to crypto for good. Before devs will be able to launch a new cryptocurrency, they're going to need governments' approval. Otherwise, they could face serious consequences in the long run.
The exchanges that run have some government support and trade licenses, otherwise they would not exist in the first place. Understand for a fact that the ones that got raided and taken down have been into money laundering. If a certain development is occurring and there is no criminal activity linked to it, then the governments dont see any such forcible steps as necessary. Talking from where I am from which is a democracy, dont know about other countries though.
Such steps are not going to happen, even in far future.
