But TheGuySwann (npub1h8nโฆrpev), Parman - Activate OP_GFY now!! (npub1lttโฆk97y), and Max Hillebrand (npub1klkโฆx3vt) explain that while this may come from an accurate estimation of government powers (though itโs often an ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณestimation), it also comes from an ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณestimation of Bitcoinโs resiliency.

Acknowledging that governments could ban Bitcoin is acknowledging that Bitcoin is a threat to the status quo โ and to be a threat to the status quo means it must be a credible alternative to the current monetary system. Thatโs a step in the right direction for someone who may have been skeptical previously.
Because Bitcoin is ๐ด๐ฐ good, yes, governments are likely to see it as a threat, and some may, and have, tried to ban it. However, it should be noted just how ineffective government bans are on things its citizens demand. Consider how effective the bans on alcohol, drugs, bibles, and certain movies have been.
I do think governments will come for Bitcoin, either to hurt it or to get more. Whatever they do, Bitcoin is going to be fine. ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ may not be, though. Get your coins off exchanges and learn how to do this to protect yourself. Ask for help or learn online. Visit my website, which is dedicated to teaching people how to hold their own coins. Donโt leave them in a giant honeypot for your government to take in one swoop. Make them come after each person, one by one. Make it difficult.
Arman The Parman is a Bitcoiner who is passionate about Bitcoin privacy and private key safety. He runs an online mentoring program to help people achieve "insane security" and teaches his own non-custodial inheritance strategy that is both trustless and loss-resistant. He contributes to Bitcoin by writing economic and technical articles posted on his website.
