it's true as you said, something new will definitely be considered foreign and will definitely be banned, but most of their governments don't want to think about what can't bring benefits to them, moreover the government can't take control of bitcoin, so they will definitely do everything they can to stop the movement of bitcoin, but all their efforts from the past year, have never succeeded..

The emergence of a certain thing that screams potential certainly brings threat and uncomfortable feeling towards its competitor. The insecurity and worry will become evident by doing the unjust things just to get past ahead the known rival. Hence, the article you provided is a great example of what is happening right now in cryptocurrency world.

I really do believe that cryptocurrency banning is just temporary because the leading factor that is behind that is usually the politics. The perspective of the officials presently elected is a great factor about the status of cryptocurrency legality in a country. After the administration and when the years of reign of the leader is over, it's time to have another set of government officials to lead the country. Another set of people that may have different principles and beliefs compared to the prior ones. Hence, the cryptocurrency banning will not be permanent.

I guess one good example here is the country of Vietnam. They have banned cryptocurrency before and made it illegal to be a mode of payment. However, recently I have read that Vietnam is now open-minded about cryptocurrency in their country. In fact, the Vietnam government has already a designated team that is tasked to research about cryptocurrency and its implementation and regulation in their country. This is said to be the bold step of Vietnam to the next level of digital economy in their place.

It's just that the power and momentum of bitcoin is stronger than it used to be(2018), Really, it's more than a force, any wave of rage and pressure from the media, the government just  makes us realize, how different is bitcoin?  History is what it's been through and there's no going back, just like you grow up, you won't remember what you've been through.  Forget the past, be tough and strong.  Bitcoin will continue to rise unstoppable. Bitcoin will hit 80k and below that is the complete failure of the bank.

It still describes very well the point that banning something for your citizens which will turn into a major global decentralized network must be a temporary move. How are you going to explain to your citizens that they are not supposed to participate in an otherwise open network that is used by all other people around the globe? While this was for communication, it was quite the same.

Now it is about exchanging value in a decentralized way, so it will be even harder for governments to keep up their bans.

prohibitions for bitcoin have existed for a long time but the fact is that bitcoin is still standing and growing today, let's see if China is consistent with the ban it issued, or when the government changes, mining will exist even if it's hidden.

I think most people will stay in their activities on bitcoin, however.. something that is really worth it will not be easily abandoned, I think if it is more potential for things that smell positive... it is possible prohibitions for bitcoin will be revoked, and let's see also that bitcoin is able to embrace the future and provide tremendous hope for humanity.

I would also be quite surprising if politicians decided to do something against cryptocurrencies now that all those banks seem to get on board in various ways. They would have to argue in a very awkward way why they think cryptocurrencies are bad if even their own banks trade it and therefore legitimize it to a certain extent.

Email is a better example for people hesitating to adopt it. Reminds me of my grandma who never accepted to use email. With crypto and its adoption the issue really was the risk involved when you used it for transactions. I remember my first transactions, checking the public key of the counter party 10 times before pushing "send". If you send your money to a wrong back account at a normal bank, they can reverse the transaction and if they can't, the other party committed theft. This is very different in crypto and keeps people away who are not that tech savvy and critical of technology anyway.

I don't think the tracking is the issue that governments see. Tracking has become quite sophisticated and there are strong businesses focusing on analytics technology to make transactions traceable quite effectively. It is more the issue that they can't stop anyone from transacting. They can't interfere with transactions. That's what they claim is the biggest problem when it comes to financing of terrorism and the like.

Countries that ban Bitcoin should also consider whether to ban Bitcoin all the time.
The charm of Bitcoin is limitless. Many countries have banned Bitcoin for a period of time, and then they discovered the advantages of Bitcoin and accepted it again.
More and more countries allow the use of Bitcoin. There will also be some countries that set Bitcoin as legal tender.
