Is funny how something that they thought could easily die away is now a globally accepted alternative in a decentralized manner, just recently Israel ban Bitcoin because it has been perceived to be a tool to finance their enemies, but the questions is, can this ban change anything?
First, Bitcoin is not bigger than the government. We don't need it to be that. We just need it to be a decentralized digital currency which it already is.
If we begin to make it like a revolution against the government it might not end well for us.
Secondly, I don't think Israel banning Bitcoin is entirely true. There was a time they did, but it was not an outright ban on Bitcoin, and it wasn't recently.
And yeah, the Bitcoin ban can change a lot. As someone who lives in a country where Bitcoin was banned at a time, I know what it means.
Do not underestimate the power of a government. Using Bitcoin where it is banned may seem like a small disobedience to people who do not live in such conditions, but it's more than that.
If you're unlucky, the government might try to make an example out of you and they may come at you with all they've got.
Big up to El Salvador who was bold enough and has a smart leader to have discovered the potential advantage of Bitcoin and adopted it accordingly,
A country making Bitcoin legal tender can not necessarily be termed as Bitcoin adoption. It's evident in the country you mentioned El Salvador. The adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador has not improved. People don't pay with Bitcoin and businesses don't accept Bitcoin much. Last year it was reported that Bitcoin adoption has gone down by 60% after a year of making it legal tender.
Adoption to me, means the amount of people that use Bitcoin.
