The more integrated it becomes, the harder it’ll be to ban it.
Once it starts making its way into mom and pop’s investment portfolios, it’ll be unstoppable, imo. Inclusions by Goldman Sachs, CME and others that follow work to this goal.
No people and nation states can ban Bitcoin at any time. Nobody is stopping them from doing so.
However a ban won't stop Bitcoin's usage and people's adoption. Similar to the ban of alcohol or making drugs illegal.
And because Bitcoin is a global phenomenon, every state banning or not adopting will get left behind.
Even before reaching mom and dad's investment portfolio Bitcoin will have made another 10x gain at least!!! Now it's the institutionals who will suck up as much BTC as they can. A pitty for them is that the majority is already distributed and in pretty strong hands. So they are fighting for a very limited amount of coins right now. And the more the demand for those left coins rises the higher the price will get of course.
