with all respect, i agree that they won't let go so easy. That's why we have such a brilliant privacy projects and coins like dash,zcash, monero. they are secure and governments can't control them or either shut them. Other decentralized projects do the same.
But we have much bigger things: and today and tomorrow we have a situation that USA have a huge debt ( that thing growing daily) and other thing is this private organization called: FED and with help of Central banks they printing fiat-currency like crazy thin air (1trillion per year aprox). and that's why we have inflation and the thing is the dollar not only losing value every day(actually there is no value at all) but because of that, with those interest rates is worse thing is that they creating the global market recessions -and manipulate them. Believe me or not. But the sad true is -they can't stop printing because if for somehow they will decide stop printing - it will ruin all economy. So my conclusion: I'm truly believe in bitcoin and other decentralized crypto's as a save haven and when recession start and things start getting worse because of all bad economical factors occurs -bitcoin should rise. that is the point of btc. Remember when first time Satoshi white paper was released publicly in 2008 when stock market bubble burst and we been in a recession. @Jrcornel thank you for help me remind all the things that happening in the world right know.
