I think it will boil down to there will come a point where the governments, no matter what they claim to stand for, are going to be threatened by the freedom people have. The desire will be to reign that in which means turning against crypto.

We see this in Russia. The government is using it to get around the oppression of the West yet, turns around, and wants to control what the citizens do with crypto.

The numbers simply have to get to the point where it is overwhelming against these governments and they basically cannot do anything.

It is that way with file sharing. The USG had to give up because it was so common. Strike down one site, two more show up.
