**Detailed Analysis:**
The speaker begins by comparing cryptocurrency to the current banking system, highlighting how it mirrors the existing monetary system operated by the banking industry. He mentions the significance of communication networks in the monetary system and how threats of sanctions often involve cutting banks off communication systems like the SWIFT network.

The speaker delves into the Euro-dollar system, also known as wholesale banking, and its operation outside the purview of central banks. He points out the challenges faced by regulators in understanding the entirety of this system due to its peer-to-peer nature, drawing parallels to the resilience of cryptocurrency in its early years.

The discussion shifts to the evolution of cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin and Ethereum, emphasizing the advancements in technology that have made shutting down these networks increasingly difficult. The speaker notes the rise in global awareness and scrutiny of cryptocurrencies, leading to potential crackdowns by governments through punitive laws and regulations.

There's always a high power especially those that think they can weld power over everything. For cryptocurrency, it's different especially with those that are truly decentralized.

The truth is that while more people are involved, national governments will have no choice but to accept Cryptocurrencies as payment currency worldwide.

That's right. Real adoption happens when we have like a billion people into crypto. In the not-so-near and not-so-distant future one network will have a billion users alone. That would be even crazier. Crypto will be out of control by then and feds/governments wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Regulators certainly have their way of doing things and they are eyeing crypto for some time now. We definitely have to do something about it, just like you said, we need more people on our side to be able to defend ourselves with whatever the governments are scheming.

We definitely need more people but I think it might be quite tough right now due to the Terra crisis. I really hope they don't make anything like penalties for holding BTC.

I think yeah if there is a way of having maybe some political or governmental bodies running some trops in the crypto ecosystem as well. This could limit the government's intentions in decommissioning cryptocurrency

Well yes, involvement of powerful individuals in crypto can help crypto currency from probable attack from government and political figures. 

I think to grow, the community needs to mature. When you look at crypto Twitter and see that crap storm is enough to drive allot of new people away, not to mention the FUD constantly being thrown everywhere. 

I think it’s time people need to find their balls and stand up to the governments and say NO. They can have my crypto the same way they can have my guns, over my cold dead hands. 

Laws are meant to be broken. I know of a bunch of laws I break on a daily basis, lol. I really don’t think that the governments have the reach and resources they want you to think they do. I mean look at the current state of things with police now. They can’t stop Real crimes much less give a crap about somebody holding Bitcoin. 

I am out in the streets and see things in a different light than most people online that are looking at what is being said online. Most economists and investors are completely out of touch with the real world. I say this as a student of the markets and someone literally living life on the streets in a van. Yes it’s my choice, that is because I got tired of spending my life in a box just watching TV and social media. And at this point with prices of everything the way they are, it's a necessity now, lol. 

Same thing with taxes. If we’re were to all just say screw off and not pay, what are they going to do? Not a damn thing because they do not have the resources to fight it. They want us to think they do. This is where people need to seriously balls up and stand up. 

You're comment about how the EuroDollar system existed for 20 years before the regulators knew anything about it is related to your past comments about the strength of the dollar being due to the fact that so many of the world’s contracts are dollar denominated. 

To put it another way, if regulators had been aware of what was going on as the EuroDollar system was being created, the dollar’s standing in the world today would be far less than it is. 

If the U.S. gets proactive with regulating crypto, it will no doubt diminish the future economic power of the U.S.

> Many still feel that cryptocurrency is going to be attacked by governments.

Cryptocurrency is already attacked by the governments. Most of them "only" regulate it, but some of them even banning them.
