I disagree. Bitcoin’s inevitability doesn’t hinge on politicians’ approval, just as a Lyn's runaway train can’t be stopped by standing in its way.

Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network, like seeds scattered across a field: you can burn one patch, but others will sprout elsewhere. China’s crackdowns and North Korea’s isolation show attempts to suppress it, yet Bitcoin persists globally, with nodes and miners adapting in jurisdictions beyond their reach.

Game theory kicks in here—politicians face a prisoner’s dilemma. If one country bans Bitcoin, another embraces it, attracting capital, innovation, and talent. Look at El Salvador or pro-crypto policies in places like Singapore. Regulators can slow the train, but they can’t derail it; the tracks are already laid by code and human incentives.

Politicians will either hop on board or watch their competitors zoom by.
