I think bitcoin / cryptos is not as safe from governments as people think. Look at EU banning deposits on binance. I think governments banning ways people can deposit and buy crypto would kill it pretty quickly. We are entering dark times in how people can control us by how we can spend our money, and I don't think crypto is going to save us from that.

I also hate those cancel culture people who are like 'it doesn't provide utility in my narrow minded view on how the world should be, so it should be banned'. If you don't like or understand something, breath and move on with your life. Keep it to yourself and let others live in peace.

If you really want to go down the rabbit hole of removing stuff that's not 'necessary' to 'save the planet', ok, lets ban air conditioning. You don't NEED it. How about we stop the mass castration of animals and all the unnecessary spending on them and ban pets. Oh they have use and meaning to you? well not to me, ban them.
