This is a simple question but it really bothers me,
the question is, if the world's governments collaborate to create a blockchain network that is the same as Bitcoin and functions like Ethereum, then will cryptocurrency can still survive? because currently I hold 0.5 Bitcoin and 5 Ethereum for the long term, therefore I want to know what will happen if my question comes true, although maybe for the near future it will not happen, but we can take the worst case scenario from now.
For the sake of argument and let's say they did collab which each other to create a new crypto that will rival
BTC, I think we can still survived in the long term. Of course, it could be a threat, but crypto or at least bitcoin is decentralized and no one can control it. Maybe there could be on the other side of the spectrum, countries banding together to protect Bitcoin's network against the so called new crypto from other governments. So I guess it will just be even things up in the end.
And you have to think, what benefits on incentives the government will have if they join force and create their crypto to rival Bitcoin or any other crypto prime movers right now?
