Hey there, so i came across a report from a regtech company about the latest sanctions on 2 Iran-related addresses.
Does that mean governments might start marking all dangerous addresses? How will BTC still be censorship resistant if govts would prosecute people for transacting with certain addresses?
I know there can be a lot of addresses, that's not the point. If blockchain analysis keep on improving, this might be a big threat.

This stuff made me reflect, what if ETH just goes to zero because they won't make it in time or the miners will simply revolt again?
Can we really trust these POS implementations not to become an oligarchy? ETH is getting destroyed when it comes to price anyways, it's in for a hell of a ride.

I'm expecting a new crisis to arise in the next 4-6 years, i think what's happening in the loan and reposition industry creates a pathological state.
Banks are still feeling too safe for what they're doing, their mistakes will sooner or later bring on a decline.
Also considering austrian cycle theory, i'd say we're in the boom. Soon gold and solid cryptos might be the go-to when it comes to keeping your money safe.

How long do you guys think we have until we face the next crisis?
