Changes will occur if bitcoins are received by all countries for their community use as a method of payment. How bitcoin can be a currency when countries are still banning bitcoins? It's the thing that makes bitcoin can not go any further and stuck just as a digital investment asset.
But you know it's gambling on the price, lets talk as grown up's and not fools here so as I see it Bitcoin will return to it's roots
which was good for drugs, sex, ransomware extortion and gambling and nothing the government could or could not do would affect the price
and bankers left it alone.
Today it has been taken over, Lightning is just a system of banking hubs that charge fees like a regular bank and a currency that Bitcoin
pretends to be needs stability in the price to facilitate the exchange of goods so roll on the good old days I say and in any case the miners
need to be taught a lesson for ripping us off on the Tx fees a few months back.
