Well to the best of my knowledge,  I think Bitcoin  has been thriving despite its rejection and strong fight against it by most of the leading countries like even the United  States  and yet it never died off.
Bitcoin  is already here to stay and I don't see it dying off anytime soon because  there are people and countries who are ready to give in their all to see Bitcoin  stand and I think Bitcoin  will do alot more better if it is globally accepted rather than been fought or kicked against by most of the leading countries.
