But that is the beauty of Bitcoin, as the world moves away from this uni-polar (US dominated world) towards a bi-polar (China), and hopefully multi-polar (if the EU gets their shit together) power structures, the US axing axing Bitcoin would be a severe blow, but not a fatal one.
This is how TPB survived, even after people were being punished in the US for downloading torrents.
This convo isn't about the "beauty" of Bitcoin or the rest of the world. It's in reference to the Fox story which is about America and with no USD flowing to Bitcoin, it's virtually dead in the US. Point being, that is not a false statement. More to your point, from my view a US dominated world is here to stay for quite a long time. Things go bad for the US, they go bad for everyone. Especially China.
