Right now in some of the countries Bitcoin is been banned or restricted, when I think of it I do not blame the government why Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies is been restricted because they do not know the value or importance of Bitcoin. Some government officials have never done any transactions, I mean to buy or invest to Bitcoin or to use Bitcoin as a means to acquire goods and services.
Government banned bitcoin because of not some officials has never done any bitcoin transaction. Government banned it because they think that bitcoin is a threat to them, i.e. capital flight, being used by criminals, etc.
Bitcoin will be more effective in the future, because presently people who are more into cryptocurrency are the younger ones (18-50 years in age).
They know the value and importance of Bitcoin. Despite the ban of Bitcoin in some countries, some individuals mostly the younger ones still have access to Bitcoin. I believe will be more effective in the future.
It's good that the X and Y and Z generation are into bitcoin, but doesn't matter what age bracket bitcoin is being used. Eventually everyone will see the advantages and the potential of bitcoin.
