Governments want to know everything, they don't even want any bird to fly without their intelligence. Which is understandable because most of them are control maniacs. Especially they can sniff the smell of money, then they will act accordingly if it's something to do against their mindset.

I don't think taking control of crypto world will be possible in close future. It is just impossible to stop a ship by putting ice sheets in front of it, it'll just slow it down.

Thanks for the article and sorry if I offended any governmental institutions : D

my first thought when i saw they were investigating uniswap was, they are just starting to investigate? if so, we are in great shape here. so many things are engaged in this world, i don't see how you unravel this now. i dont want to be naive to government attacks, but it feels this one is going to be a mess.

Let them investigate. I don't think such technology will be stopped anytime soon. We may start to see this type of news more often. No need to worry or stress. Thank you for the article.

I don't see any harm in their investigation. There are many people who will oppose and fight against crypto when it comes to harm. I love this freedom and of course I don't think governments can stop this freedom.

Thanks for the article!

Whether it's governments or those who are against this technology, I have bad news for them, unfortunately, you lost. Ink dripped into the water. There is no coming back

It's normal for governments to do research. Something that has to happen. If I were a government administrator, of course, I would investigate something that spread so quickly. Because if it's harmful, I don't want my people to get hurt.

Bans do not prevent anything. Let me give you a very simple example. I'm a bus guy all the time.

3 years ago, no one knew anything about bitcoin. I didn't know. How can I get bitcoin if you asked me 3 years ago? I probably couldn't answer you.

I'm getting on the bus right now and I see binance on the phone of at least two or three people. Often uninformed people just buy. But at least they know.

When I think about the past 3 years, I see that governments have done nothing positive about crypto. But how many times has crypto grown? So the pressures make it grow more. I don't think it would have spread so much if they had left it alone.

Thanks for the nice post. I've enjoyed reading.

I live in Turkey. The bans and pressures are very sad. Unfortunately, this is present in many areas. And now they're thinking about taxing big sizes.

Actually, we shouldn't stick to the banks. Crypto gives us anonymity. But when we cooperate with banks, our identity is exposed. I don't know, maybe there is a way. But if banks can find an external withdrawal method, it seems that it can never be prevented. Or it needs to come fully payment system. I hope crypto wins.

Thanks for the article.

Have a nice day.
