RE: "Governments will ban Cryptocurrencies." Seriously? Who believes this garbage and verbal diarrhoea that is being pushed out? It's time to grab my cornflakes again..!!
Oh, they can ban it all right - but will it be effective? Hardly! The sweet irony of China closing down exchanges at the same time they're using BTC to help North Korea skirt UN sanctions:

This is the Faustian Bargain of Nation-States in a crypto world - they want its border porousness but not its decentralized censorship resistance. They want it "controlled" and pseudolegal so their opponent Nation-States don't get a leg up on them.
They're playing footsie with Promethean Fire. They will get burned in the end. Good post as always, @stephenkendal.
