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.
The main purpose of why the blockchain was created is due to one thing- decentralization. If the government were to collaborate to create a blockchain network, then it defeats the very purpose of decentralization as the government still has control over it.
The worst case scenario for cryptocurrency, in my opinion, is when governments of all countries prohibit the transaction of such. With this in mind, big companies and businesses would drop BTC/cryptocurrencies as a payment option to their products/services. Slowly, cryptocurrencies would become obsolete and its price would decrease and decrease.
