Honestly, betting on El Salvador to fight against the U.S. and EU wanting to ban Bitcoin-related projects from GitHub is one of the worse bets I've seen.
They don't have a lot to work with / to leverage. It's a tiny nation and their adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender is mostly symbolic; it shows what's possible, but it doesn't give Bitcoin more value, more legitimacy or protection from large states' attacks.
Yeah it's silly, and we already have examples of some countries like China banning Bitcoin (several times) without much resistance.
I think that other countries won't ban Bitcoin directly yet, at least not until they release their own CBDC projects, but they can slowly start to increase pressure on exchanges, wallets, developers, miners, etc.
It's obvious they want to have full surveillance and tracking in near future, so anything related with privacy is now under attack.
Hear me out: arrival of CBDCs, shutdown of centralized exchanges and simultaneously implementation of L1 privacy changes to the Bitcoin protocol. Bitcoin will be the
choice for... literally anyone.
And people will be incentivized to actually use it as a medium of exchange to escape the totalitarian nature of CBDC and avoid going through buying/selling 'hassle' on DEX's.
