I think most of the new cryptocurrencies we see today will be gone in a very short time. That said, I think the idea behind bitocin and other cryptos is here to stay: people like it, people like the idea, even if most people don't undestand the tecnology behind it (I dind't know what the blockchain was a few months ago, and I probably still don't understand it deeply). Imagine you didn't know anything about cryptocurrencies, what would you buy as your first crypto? I think it'd be bitcoin: it's just so much popular. It was my first crypto, it's been many people's first crypto. I think first bitcoin will become so popular that you will be able to spend it in most stores, and then some goverment will do something about it. But what?

Yea, thats true that its kinda a brand name people first buy. And it really does have a purpose. Its the leading fuel in these markets. As far as what will governments do with it? They will take it away lol. If your country bans it, dont expect it do be accepted by your local stores. On a larger scale tho it would take global effort by governments for the world to fully eliminate it. I mean its crypto, when one country bans it we just use another exchange somewhere else, so it would have to be on large scale if they ever are to be successful. And considering the fact these days we all have nukes pointing at each others and cant seem to work together anyways, i dont see it going anywhere.
But do you think they will actually do it? I mean, it would take a lot of effort and would make a lot of people very angry about it, wouldn't it? Let's say they ban it, and then what? Nothing could stop a person to send some btc to another person, am I wrong?
Will they try? Sure, some already have. And it doesnt matter if it upsets alot of people. You gotta see the bigger picture, and the big picture says if crypto continues to grow its going to upset the natural order of the global economy. This gets a bit tricky to explain in limited words. When you start taking power from the powerful dont expect them not to try and take it back. If they cant find a way to adapt to it, bet your ass they are gunna find a way to get rid of it. And your right, it would be difficult to stop me from sending you a coin, but never underestimate the worlds powerful. If they cant stop me from sending btc , they will just make sure btc doesnt hold value anymore. If you understand how markets work, then you prolly understand how someone could make one crash if they, oh lets say endless supply of money... I can see many ways they could pull the plug on it if they wanted too
Yes there are a lot of ways they could pull the plag if they wanted to, I guess we'll just hope they won't!
