You are right. No centralized government would be very much interested in a decentralized network like Bitcoin without any form of ulterior motive behind their public declaration of love for bitcoin. We all know that the government loves to be incharge and in control, so what changed now? Although this their public declarations has been advantageous to the Bitcoin community in terms of more adoptions and price increase, I know both Trump and Putin are not saints.

My joy lies in the fact that Bitcoin is a decentralized network and cannot be controlled by any world power. So we are  safe.

It's not about blacklisting transactions. It's about blocking accounts without clear source of origin transaction history of the chosen crypto. If you can't explain the part where that money got traded against Monero, you can say goodbye to your money, because no one will accept "dirty money" in the future. So good luck counterfeiting the transaction history. This is why monero got delisted in the first place.

You guys didn't believe that it would be delisted from cexes either, so i am assuming you don't believe me now. Just take a look upcoming crypto and AML regulations.

In fact, I think he spoke in accordance with the data and facts that exist in the current conditions. No one can stop bitcoin and that is true even Satoshi who can create bitcoin in the end cannot stop bitcoin that already exists and runs today.

The government has power and I agree with that but in the end none of them can stop bitcoin including countries that do have a big role in the economy such as the US and China and Russia will not be able to stop bitocin because they will continue to move according to what was planned from the beginning where it will be completed even 80 decades from now.

We can see how government propaganda does its job as when China banned bitcoin from circulating in the country. But in the end it will only be able to weaken the market value but cannot stop bitcoin.

Putin (Russia) mentioned that no one could stop Bitcoin. The USA is planning to consider it as a strategic reserve, while China continues to ban it. These major countries, at least two of them, are in favor of Bitcoin. This shows that Bitcoin will always sustain itself, and that’s the power of decentralization.

Although regulations may reduce our anonymity or lessen privacy in transactions, as long as the system remains intact and functions the way it’s designed to, Bitcoin will remain unstoppable. With that said, we should consider investing or continue holding as its demand will continue to increase in the future, and you know what would happen to its price in that scenario.

Nobody can do that at protocol level (lessen our anonymity or privacy in transactions). All they can do is to regulate centralized services like exchanges. Bitcoin is like cash. When you go to a super market and buy something and pay in cash, the owner doesn't ask you for your identity to make the payment but when you use a centralized service like banks (eg. debit/credit card) you have already revealed your identity.

It's the same with Bitcoin. People don't want their privacy be invaded, then they shouldn't use centralized services with their decentralized money called bitcoin.

Well, it's very possible that when you purchase at a grocery store, you just pay with Bitcoin and they'll never know who you are. But what about the point where you purchase that Bitcoin? Sure, most of us use our bank to purchase Bitcoin on an exchange, so at that point, we've already revealed our identity to the exchange. Since the government regulates exchanges and banks, they could obtain that information.

You can tell your story to all the people whose accounts were suspended due to tainted coins and to those who were indicted because of it.

You have a slave mentality and can’t understand that you don’t need to prove anything - they need to prove that your money comes from an illegal source or that you are not the true owner.

I can have a stash of gold, and it will still be worth the same and legal for me to sell if I choose to, without needing to prove anything except that I am its owner.

In terms of crypto, it’s easy to prove ownership because you are the only one with access to it.

I wouldn’t touch transparent blockchains like Bitcoin with a ten-foot pole.

But hey, you do you. I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing, because it’s working great for me.

It always amuses me that the people who don’t actually have any substantial cash are the ones who talk about it the most.

Actually, even when talking about China, I don't feel that they really banned bitcoin because in the end this could be their ploy to get bitcoin at a lower price because some of the news they did made the market a little volatile and in fact the ban from China happened. not once or twice but several times they banned and legalized bitcoin again. So with this, even stupid people can definitely conclude that this could be one of their strategies even though they still hold the anti-bitcoin claims that they always maintain.

Some economic rulers such as China and America of course will not give up bitcoin because of the advantages that bitcoin has, even though they cannot curb or completely make bitcoin regulated but they are aware that they have to find a way to reap big profits from bitcoin in the end.

Literally, BTC is making a noise now. BTC is important now, not only because of its increasing value but that also means the support for it got wider than ever. Though to be realistic, $1M for BTC price is really impossible, at least at the moment or a few months from now. Time will only tell if we will get there but if we do, then that's great. If not, well, I'm sure we still have a decent value in the future. That would be enough for us already.

If we don't look at the value but only the multiplier, indeed that 10x looks achievable but as other users said before, 10x from $100k to $1M is not the same as 10x from $1k to $10k. We also need to consider other factors here like the supply of the coin and how much people are already involved.

Are you talking about Putin or Trump? But no matter who you're talking about, it doesn't matter because as president, they have more things to worry about than just focusing on bitcoin. They don't need to know too much about bitcoin but as long as they have an open policy and promote its development, that's more than enough for us.

As a president, as long as he benefits the people, promotes economic development and improves people's lives, he is a successful president. Don't worry too much about whether they know about bitcoin, technology or using a phone...because they have a lot of advisors and experts in many different fields who will take care of that.
