really there has already been many tricks... segwit, exchanges, the political campaigns talking about it, seizing people's bitcoin and dumping it at the bottom of the market, refusing to allow banks to deal in it

the simple fact is that its market cap now is in reach of the Magnificent 7 and when the stock market inevitably crashes in the next few months it's gonna start looking a lot more attractive as an inflation hedge and game theory says that means that everyone who is in finance who is tired of having the central banks play with their money are gonna fight against having their store of value taken away from them, so it's gonna be rough for those trying to fight it... bitcoin is too big now for them to put the genie back in the bottle, and in my opinion, the secular liberal democratic state is an institution on its last legs as is banking

doesn't mean they won't keep on trying to stonewall it but they are the silly little boy with his finger in the dike. while a tsunami builds up behind it
