I'm afraid it's quite the opposite: we shouldn't underestimate the power of a government. They let us be for the moment but I'm really wondering if they will do the same in the following years. If India was able to ban Bitcoin along with other countries and there was no civil unrest, I am honestly afraid a Bitcoin ban would only be followed by very small and non-significant protests that would result in.. nothing!
The only thing we can do is try to keep following the path we've started (mine is to keep believing in and supporting BTC) and hope a ban or harsher regulations aren't coming.
I agree. We must not underestimate the power the government have because if they want to, they can stop users from using cryptocurrencies just like what happened to those countries where a total whether temporary or permanent ban have already happened. Despite of the fact that cryptocurrencies are decentralized, still government have the power of the law to implement the banning of crypto currency usage since an individual using cryptocurrency is residing in a certain territory of a country. We just need to follow what the government wants on the proper moderation of using cryptocurrency to avoid letting them to make such actions against cryptocurrency once they think that usage of crypto is not good for their people. We just need to continue on doing what we used to do which is for me keep on using and holding cryptocurrency even market is on ups or downs because time will really tell what will happen i the future since we do not know what can happen because there are certain factors that may contribute and affect on the future we expect. Let us just wait and see.
