Except that, many rich investors and large corporations are putting money into crypto as we speak. Some of those large investors may include people who work in the government and at central banks. I tend to think that, these people will have a conflict of interest there. It might be in their own best personal interest to not ban crypto, and to leave that door open. In other words, it might soon be too late to ban crypto. The ball already started rolling down the hill.

Great analysis. Give it another few years: then when most of the S&P companies will hold crypto, along with your richest supporters and voters, trying to ban it will become political suicide.
