> The minute they try to impose those controls on crypto is the ultimate Streisand Effect moment that will confirm to everyone that they definitely need this asset.

I'm not convinced. Your scenario relies on people having some deep conviction about the value and usefulness of cryptocurrencies. I think that this is true only for a very small vocal minority of users/buyers. Most people just want to make easy money with it - that's why I think heavy regulation/bans will simply crash the prices instead of leading to a Streisand effect.



No, they just have to have more faith in it than than other assets. Which becomes easier when states make moves indicating they have lost control.
