So, basically, the worst part of Crypto (Drug dealers hiding drug money in cryptos, bank robbers hiding cash into it, etc.) cannot be banned?
i feel that governments, no matter which, are power hungry organizations.
they will eventually find ways to regulate and massively influence anything.
Say, anything. A motor vehicle. in the beginning you could build your own and do whatever you want.
eventually they force you to have a seatbelt, comply with MOT safety, limit carbon pollution, etc.
say internet, it was free. now there's censorship, anti pirating, and big corps using the algorithm to benefit themselves.
i think eventually they will regulate the shit out of any crypto, because they are threats to their FIAT currencies. governments are fundamentally a legalized mafia organization./ they might eventually make their own official crypto. which basically becomes a regional FIAT currency. or basically not far off from a digital FIAT that we have today anyways.
it could be different, but idk i'm not too optimistic.
Lex reminds of G Man from half life.
crypto fish talking about all the wonders crypto would bring only if you invest now. š
He sounds like Stephen Hawkingās voice machine
Cryptocurrency is dangerous to the world. there is no difference, besides the huge danger to the planet. global warming is already bad, why the fuck do you think its okay to keep using things like etherium?
Why does he sound like Alexa but he sounds like a robot
Heās hoping for the best scenario… As a crypto enthusiast myself, I hope so too. But there should not be a major conflict between government and crypto any more than fiats in other superpower nations versus the USD. Employees donāt get paid in cash anymore for the last couple decades because their income and taxes have been digitized by government and banks. However, there are still people who like to get paid in a paper paycheck and then go cash that check for the fiat. So, if my government and employer will soon give me an option to be paid in blockchained dollars, I donāt see how it can be any conflict between me and the sector of public who opts out on it. As it has never been with a digitized payment vs a paycheck.
* as it has never been one
"Can governments ban cryptocurrency?" Its not about "can" its about they will. And that's a good thing.
There is no way government can ban cryptos without banning the internet as a whole
ofc Crypto can be banned and it will be a great day because im sick of this resource and energy burning BS

One world order under a Chinese model is what they want. Just ask Bill Gates, George Soros or Henry Kissinger . That is what they will push for until they get it. Whatever propaganda or control arm they can exploit they will do it. They want you disarmed and poor. So you beg for them to save you. They have dumbed down the population and made them subservient to the big master government. China US Europe South America Australia will all be under the control of one Master the devil himself. No one will hide from the master.
Question is , what if the crypto gets consolidated in the hands of a few individuals , like we have a population of 7billion and if 1 million people holds 90% of all crypto assets then it defies the goal of decentralisation , we then have to again place a government organisation to collect tax from the crypto holders do that that money could be reused and redistributed in community
It takes too much processing power and energy to translate the language and expressions of alien to human interpretable form………this video clearly proves that
bitcoin = bitTorrent. Where they successful in removing bitTorrent? Nope š
Bitcoin is most likely controlled by the government.It's part of their plan

EU are planning on banning ETH and BTC āproof of workā. ETH2.0 better get moving or proof of stake coins will rain supreme like ADA and XRP.
They are simply very hard to ban, no matter how much governments would like to.
Is he fucking kidding calling fees at 5-10 dollar priced out? Theāre at least 10x that
So sad Europe chosed the second path
Love your pod! Excellent conversation and great questions
DJ Quall gonna play him in the biopic. Lol
Yes they can you need bank accounts exchanges internet web sites ip adresses all controled by goverments they can NOT ban or stop the bitcoin itself but they can block it out of the online infrastructure .
If the US bans crypto prices are going to sub zero. Yāall know that if US does theyāll impost it on others too, so the EU will follow and Bitcoin from 21k goes to 21 cents. Then go open as much accounts as you want in other places to hold your NOW worthless coins
To the homosexuals who never want a job and who uses ancestral wealth to make money on interest is annoying and disrespectful.
Get a job! Go invest in land and find yourself a woman who you can take care of! These men parade around never to desire companionship but themselves. Living off stolen wealth without the care for other women and men who actually work for a living. They stay jerking off to themselves being greedy fat and disrespectful. Making money on interest is such a shame! Trust and believe hell is real if not in the next life you will be checked in the living world.
Cash or card.
Forever!
Money will always be around.
You scoundrels!
Repent.
