Believe me, those who truly believe in Bitcoin as a "tool" to change the world are the small minority. The vast majority of people who join Bitcoin are only after the money. An event where all CEXs ban Bitcoin, would certainly cause panic. Even if we know the core Blockchain will remain untouched. With a huge price drop, no one will want to invest in Bitcoin. Especially if countries declare it illegal.

People will have to decide whenever they want to spend the rest of their lives in jail or continue enjoying their freedom (as in liberty). I'm sure many will choose the latter option, leaving Bitcoin behind in the dust. While BTC will survive, the number of supporters will be so small it would eventually "fail" (as a store of value, ofc). The odds of a worldwide ban are slim, so there's nothing to be concerned of.

I trust you, and that’s exactly what I wanted to say. The main reason people believe in bitcoin is because they expect it to give them big returns or make them rich, not because they are looking for a tool to change the world. So if suddenly the government bans all centralized exchanges, the liquidity of the market disappears and people lose money. They will surely leave Bitcoin behind in the dust.

The truth is, if bitcoin couldn't make a profit, I don't think it could have survived until now no matter how good it is. No one will support and trust it if it is not profitable.
