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?
What is Israel beside bitcoin, who is government besides bitcoin, nothing can stop bitcoin, not even the government, ban or no ban, bitcoin remains irresistible, the only people that will be affected are the citizens in the country where this ban is being made, we can see right from the beginning, how the government have been fighting against bitcoin just because they realized the power it could give the people in having control over their finances, yet they couldn't stop bitcoin adoption, instead it keep increasing more and more.
Bitcoin network can't be stop (except the last miner gave up) but centralized services that gives life and price value to Bitcoin can be. If the government get serious and pursue all banned on cryptocurrency activities, we might find ourselves holding a lesser priced Bitcoin. We should not underestimate the authority of the government. They have the power to hinder the growth and adoption of Bitcoin, it is that each government had their own stand on Bitcoin but if they come united to ban cryptocurrency and imprison users and supporter of the cryptocurrency, I do not know if we can still belittle the capability of the government.
Let us be thankful that there are governments that is neutral and pro-bitcoin.
