Thats the point, we dont need the government to accept bitcoin for it to work, even tho it would make things easier. There will be a point where the average person will be fed up with the current system and thats where bitcoin shines. The more people stand behing bitcoin, the harder it will be for them to ban it. And even if it was banned it will be resilient, the more people already hold their own keys and run their own nodes the harder it will be for a ban to have any effects, it could even be positive, because it forces us to use more decentralized services.
I completely agree. Technologies like bitcoin are much more than charts and candles, it is a system of money that anyone can utilize as everyone else. All other means of exchanges take a bureaucratic approach and not everyone can use it like everyone else, more like it is designed to work for a select few. This is truer in poor and middle class nations.
Thats where the knowledge part comes into play, because the more educated bitcoiners we have, the easier it will be to withstand future attacks(And there will be many social attacks on the protocol and so on). Bitcoins game theory is just on point and i think it will play out the more good actors we have in it. And if countries refuse to take in bitcoin and keep this current broken system alive, then bitcoin will keep increasing in value and it will attract more and more people. So i think if we play our cards right, we can do it, theyre in the loosing position, not us, we just gotta withstand attacks now and keep it alive as best we can.
Having any sort of general consensus would be difficult as the scene is filled with so many different actors right now, the most plausible approach is not normalizing processes that undermine the decentralization of bitcoin, no matter how popular they become, like, storing on exchanges, freely submitting KYC documents, etc.
