I mean make all other forms illegal

and government would run an empty network nobody uses

and then do that to 16 other people in my network

Again, I'm not supporting this. I'm probing my cynicism.

that are also voted to be in the top 20

it will be very hard @DrYuriMom

bitcoin cash only exists because some people got angry at original bitcoin programmers, so they forked off

17 people would have to be murdered / kidnapped all around the world.

and their keys taken

the same would happen if government took over bitcoin, and it would happen immediately

and no one in the network find out

@NativeInterface cant take it over..

If non-approved crypto were illegal I expect the value would plummet and no one would care about those keys

they can try to change the code or fork the code to govt code. no one will run it though.

We'e already seen new blockchains started

The gov't could start from scratch

well they could point guns at bitcoin core programmers and force them to implement taxation functions or something
but then the coin would lose all value and people would use bitcoin cash instead

@DrYuriMom well india banned them

so you cant buy crypto there unless you do it on the black market

@NativeInterface it dont work like that

Exactly what i have noted too

if they point guns at developers

and the miners see a new codebase

guess what we do?

dont update

we read the code.. say SCAM

and no one uses it

literally.

yeah i thought thats what i said

So you can kill a currency that easily?!?

@NativeInterface there are dif kinds of crypto

@DrYuriMom also dif kinds of crypto...

proof of work

delegated proof of stake

proof of stake

and hybrid mixes

none of them are the same.

you can hack passwords really easily too, you just beat someone with a shovel until they say their password

crypto is less a currency than a product

PoW is harder to control or upgrade , bitcoin example.. DPOS is fast and has voting structure unlike bitcoin

i cant vote your miner in bitcoin
