Soon Bitcoin would not be news or in the news as much as it is today. No, it will not be banned but rather there's it would have garnered so much support and acceptance worldwide. The rich, the poor, the upper-class, the middle class, school kids in kindergarten, the mayors of cities, Presidents, Priests and Clergymen, Imams, and Rabbi would own a satoshi no matter how small. My confidence and hope in this belief grow exponentially every day because the world is moving towards the consciousness and reality of cryptocurrencies. It’s damn hard to ignore. Everyone is talking about Bitcoin on the tv, newspapers, radio stations, the coffee shop, the grocery shop, religious places of worship, strip clubs, casinos, in the North pole, Antarctica, Sahara Desert, the Atlantic Ocean, and everywhere one turn towards. In the end, we’re going to have two types of people. The first type of people will be those who got on the Bitcoin train voluntarily. And those who were “forced” because they had no other choice. At this time, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not going to be a big deal anymore. No one will care about whales and sharks manipulating the market prices because there will be sophisticated systems put in place that serve as buffers. It’s going to be like having a dollar or your local currency. Everyone will have it no matter how little.
I have a feeling that some people trap themselves in a bubble and heavily project what they read about every day as being the reality for everyone else. In my experience crypto is currently talked about very rarely and there is a lot of bad publicity circulating about it right now. It's very curious that you mention so many religious figures in your spiel, because theoretically they should be the least interested group of people in pursuing financial instruments. Like it or not, a vast majority of the world is happy with the status quo and while cryptocurrency offers certain useful abilities (like sending money across borders), most day to day transactions can already be performed much more quickly and efficiently with existing tools.
