It depends on individuals. We have very few bitcoin holders who run their own node and majority of bitcoin holders who trust custodial wallets with their coins. If we all go completely decentralized (non custodial) preferably running our own node then  bitcoin will only be a myth in the eyes of political leaders. 

Political leaders are crafty. They know the can't penetrate into bitcoin directly so the are trying hard to see that people buy into the idea of custodial wallet so they can have full control of people's asset. We can only outsmart the government by staying far from custodial wallets.
