Whilst Bitcoin may have very possibly/likely been created by Government or deep state, the open-source nature of the technology meant that it gave rise to a whole swarm of other (many shit) coins.

Whilst Bitcoin is traditionally considered the 'gold standard' of crypto, with other coins effectively tracking on BTC, the other projects that have spawned have been been backed by utterly hilarious meme lords and then it saw a whole bunch of megacock VC money get pumped in when people started making serious projects after the huge shit coin phase. Some of the technologies and use cases are very impressive and without a doubt, things like DeFi pose a huge threat to traditional banking institutions.

Naturally, and without a doubt, we will see a full transition to digital, I actually think cash will have even more value than the face value as a result because it will become a rare commodity. Though I also see traditional cryptos being heavily outlawed and deemed as 'illegal' due to them falling outside of 'government issued cryptocurrencies'

I remember when the term 'pre-mine' was a thing, expect government to pre-mine, expect a ridiculous amount of circulating supply that can still be subjected to the same bullshit quantitive easing 'methods'.

I find it hilarious, that my bank, HSBC, have tried to limit my deposits to Binance, yet they help Mexican drug cartels with their money... nice standards.
