Some people dive right into the worst case scenario that cryptocurrencies will be made illegal by the U.S., and they think this move would effectively snuff it out altogether. So in light of that, since by the way, I personally do not hold to that same perspective. Today I wanted to provide a quick and friendly visual breakdown of how cryptocurrencies are viewed by countries around the world, and as a kicker, I’ll prove that even if a government deems them to be illegal, it surely does not do much at all to stop those citizens from using them. This list I’m presenting is not completely exhaustive, however it does shed a lot of light as to how cryptocurrencies are viewed by other governments based on their decisions on if or how they regulate them. Considering the thought experiment in a video that I posted earlier this month in which I spoke on a global flipping that could occur due to how a country’s government chooses to treat cryptocurrencies, pay attention to lists like these, how they change over time and whether or not the countries who favor cryptocurrencies will see big benefits in the future.Unless a particular country has the ability to completely control the access of internet to its citizens, they will have access to cryptocurrency networks. Which themselves are designed to be peer-to-peer and censorship resistant. In the events such as this, individuals should be happy for that design because it ensures their ability to exercise their freedom to pursue the monetary tools and payment channels of their choosing. For those of you who are new to this channel, I will end it with this very important reminder: Although the networks themselves are designed specifically for and find their strength in their decentralization and peer-to-peer abilities, it does not dictate that things built to interact with them also have those same attributes. What I’m talking about here are the cryptocurrency exchanges. Most cryptocurrency exchanges are centralized, meaning they are owned and controlled by companies that are made up of publicly identified individuals who are proving over and over again that they do and will continue to succumb to governmental pressures to limit who is able to access their platform. This is how governments are able threaten this space. But when I say threaten, I’m really only referencing those centralized exchanges. Because you see, those too can be designed to be much more decentralized and much more resilient against anyone or anything trying to assert it’s control. So final piece of advice here being, pursue the decentralized exchanges, pursue the DEX.
