Yes, some of what you describe could be done with Bitcoin, but Please do not confuse Bitcoin with “the overall crypto market” where all of what you described actually took place.

KYC and government regulations are a pain, but the core decentralized, limited supply, secure nature of Bitcoin will remain fully intact.

Rich and powerful people have already tried to take it over, they ended up with their own forks and you can judge how those have done.

>decentralized How much of BTC is owned by large miners?

>Limited supply If we can't mine more, those with the larger supply have control.

>secure

For now.

Blockchain as the idea will propagate and is great, but bitcoin has failed.

>Please do not confuse Bitcoin with “the overall crypto market”

But it's value is quite tied to the crypto arket, isn't it?
