Wait till they start regulating Bitcoin even more than they already are. Folks will dump Bitcoin fast and look to other investment opportunities because the US government will tax the hell out if crypto. Mark my words, it’s coming. China will follow.
I don’t think they’ll be successful, they can try though

China will not follow. The United States recognizes the legitimacy of cryptocurrency. On the contrary, China wants to prohibit it. What a stupid decision
Well they do recognize the legitimacy of cryptocurrency, only to tax it into the ground, or regulate it and curtail its growth. Do you believe the greedy politicians in the US appreciate an alternate currency that competes with USD? Or do you believe they recognize BTC for its merits as an asset, only with intent to generate income from it? A USD competitor is bad for the US no matter how many "pro-crypto" politicians there are. If you're a US politician, there is no supporting both.
