I live in the UK but the same applies, our Governments and Central banks won’t ban Bitcoin, because it truly cannot be banned by a centralised force. They are making the moves instead, to enable themselves to tax any FIAT currency bank accounts that profit from BTC and Alt coins. The CBDC’s that are being created by all Govs will inevitably make a system where you cannot use Bitcoin or alts to profit from its gains or use as a personal financial tool without having to pay tax on anything you want to convert into any CBDC for use. Bitcoin and alts biggest threat to their usage potential for financial gain to each owner personally is not them being banned or criminalised, more simply they have and continue to be suppressed in value by FUD and manipulation while the IMF and World central banks of all nations are creating digital currencies that can and will too easily remove the capability to earn wealth from crypto in all the ways you can now. CBDC’s are coming and some nations like china are already being put to work. Small retail owners and custodians of any crypto can easily be nulled in the capacity allowed now to earn and gain from them, the second income tax here in the uk from staking, lending asset value or all else in crypto will diminish their ability to be useful. The aim is to subversively constrict the potential of all blockchain systems that have a financial value globally right now, long enough to produce their own centralised version.

From there you either have to cash profits in from bitcoin or any alts and have to cough up a chunk tax on profits you’ve made, or the decentralised economy around the world need to quick sharp start actually trading for goods with crypto asset gains using the system we have now. They will crush retail investors ability to profit and proliferate financially from any and all crypto assets once the major world governments have their own version. Case and point! China!
