Well, it doesn't affect me at all because I don't own any centralized shitcoins. Good luck to any US regulators trying to stop bitcoin being mined or trying to freeze my wallets.
When I said you and me I didn't really mean you (o_e_l_e_o) personally, but I get your point. Bitcoin isn't vulnerable to attacks in that way. I see potential problems in pressuring the community of volunteers in doing or implementing something they don't want to. Arrests, prosecution, and that sort of thing. Other experts can take their place and resume the work in that case.
I haven't heard recent talks about large-scale mining bans. But I have no doubt that certain proposals lie in drawers in dark offices waiting for the perfect opportunity to be drawn out. Don't forget that the Arctic Ice is melting and banning bitcoin or Bitcoin is the way to do that.
From what countries do you have no doubt proposals lie somewhere, and "waiting for the perfect opportunity to be utilized" for an implementation of a ban? I believe one country's loss will be another country's gain. Bitcoin as a tool for weakening political steongholds, will be supported by anti-West regions, namely Iran, North Korea, and Russia. El Salvador has already announced their support, although building the basic infrastructure for mining will take time, but other regions will definitely follow.
Do I support the political agenda of those anti-West regions? No, but I don't support war and violence either, which the West is also guilty of participating. Plus I'm merely illustrating the possibilities because of Bitcoin's essence as a censorship-resistant, decentralized cryptocurrency.
