Cryptocurrency is representing a dream...a dream when we can get away from the control, power and influence of the government most especially with finance and economy. This includes minimizing the control of central banking on matter on matters of policies and economic direction.
Because that is what it all was. A dream. Whoever said we can get away from the oppressive nature of the government is dreaming. We should wake up and accept our fate.
However, correct me if I am wrong, the battle has not yet started and it looks we the many Bitcoin or crypto enthusiasts are on the losing side. We have just witnessed how a single pronouncement or a news can drastically affect the value of the Bitcoin market.
It is not a battle. Those are panic sellers who dumped in the market making the price go down. The government only did their jobs to ban crowdsales because they are illegal.
Now, what would happen if many of the big governments would one day declare Bitcoin to be illegal? Will it mean that realistically it is the government who is winning in this battle? Or is there really a battle in the first place?
With or without Bitcoin, they always win. Look at human history, the oppressors always enslave the oppressed.
