The US government and the cryptocurrency market are having a lot of ups and downs, and it seems like they're headed towards a very important conflict. This conflict will determine the fate of many people and companies involved in cryptocurrency. They might have to shut down or move to a different country.
The USA is not the whole world though it is the most influential country economically. What will happen if they ban crypto or regulate crypto? Some projects will relocate their base of operation and some will change their business model so that they can work under the regulation. No project doesn't want to abandon the vision and money they invested in it. China banned bitcoin mining a few years ago. So did bitcoin mining stop? They just relocated and the same thing will happen if the government takes any harsher measures towards crypto.
