Stopping Bitcoin? No, because the government is centralized, while Bitcoin is decentralized. They can’t shut down the network. The best they can do is try to discourage people from using Bitcoin through regulations. But that fear isn’t a big deal anymore since major countries have already legalized Bitcoin, which means we’re here to stay.

Exactly.

That's like trying to stop the Internet. It's very difficult because it is very resilient and decentralized.

No one can stop the internet, but if they try to suppress Bitcoin through legal pressure, it will likely lead to fewer people using it, especially if it gets declared illegal. In that case, no legitimate company would want to use it either, fearing penalties. That’s exactly what we hope never happens because if it does, this massive market cap could crash, and Bitcoin might drop back to $1 or even lower, just like in its early days.
