What political trap is Bitcoin going to face in the future

[Amphenomenon]

Take away "average mainstream American investors" and Bitcoin won't "die", but it certainly will retreat in price by 90% or more.

90% is too much and like an exaggeration except an actual state otherwise. Definitely the price will drop down but not to that extent and if such scenario occur the reaction from others outside US will be both ways (positive & negative) but the positive will outweigh the other, more will want to take the opportunity to invest more.

It’s a very interesting scenario considering that bitcoin is decentralized, which means that bitcoin can always be controlled by political news and when we hear news of war this are the things that affects bitcoin and makes bitcoin to come down immediately, so there is nothing that anyone can do about situations like that, but what we can only do as an investor is to keep buying bitcoin, which is the encouragement that we have when investing in bitcoin, I have been investing in bitcoin for a long time, and when there are political news we end up having a problem with the Volatility nature of bitcoin.

Simple, all you need to do is think about every move that trump and his family pulled since he got elected as the president of the united states, and flip it over, what would have happened to crypto if Trump was an anti-crypto? It would have been devastating, Trump is different, if he made up his mind to kill crypto it's will have big impact.

As for Bitcoin there is nothing he can do about that, he will try his best but Bitcoin will still survive, they will release FUD and make sure that Nakamoto was Epstein, they can add this up in those files and then put a permanent ban on Bitcoin, I wouldn't care too much because I am not living in the U.S.

It's not control of BTC, it's an effect of the global situation / group of people / etc. on it.

That's natural because BTC is decentralized, nobody can control it
