The law sometimes thinks that illegal-ing something, it would sway people to turn their backs on it or forget about it.
It was done with many things throughout history, yet in our age and with BTC - these restrictions are done with a note of salt and the thoughts behind them being - if you can't control it - don't allow it.
With time, that would change, of course, and I see the draft being pushed through with success.
That's right to say, they want people to forget about it, which means in some countries once alcohol and drugs were illegal then they were legal but under regulations, so do they want people to not sway from it and want people to keep using them? Maybe they want that but that's an issue then.
They can't even control the economy, and what's the need to control everything? Oops, I almost forgot one fish in the pond can make the whole pound dirty. Now they are trying to make even BTC more centralized There are some videos and content on internet which is not that famous but very important like how big companies like MSTR, BR, etc. are donating to BTC devs to create new products for BTC but to keep them more centralized, and in short, even if we consider LN, if it would be more centralized then it would work more better. I might be wrong about a thing or few, but overall they aim to create a centralized hub of products and want to make them adopted on bigger levels too.
