concerning governments banning bitcoin i would reference the stunning successes of the war on drugs and banning music and film torrents. governments eventually had to accommodate what the free market wanted in the form decriminalizing/legalizing drugs or making legal version of torrents in the form streaming services.
however, they were never able to ban drugs or torrents completely. in fact, with failed attempts at retail cannabis being overpriced and inferior quality still makes the black market necessary. and with streaming services shrinking their libraries as well as increasing prices, people are starting to return to torrents. bitcoin can’t be banned completely.
concerning quantum computers, i thought you made a great argument before: do serious investors in oil ask if the heat death of the universe is a valid concern for investing in oil? the heat death of the universe and quantum computing are both concerns but they are not a concern in our lifetime.
