I would like to see a vote of who here has confidence in either western financial institutions and due process of the law .
And thus, some hybridized system using crypto behind walls of application code, may be a way to maneuver w/o arbitrary political moves to seize ones assets.
This is exactly what the gold bugs have been saying for years. So really all you are adding to this thread is fanboy brouhaha. But to your point, I do believe western governments will outlive XRP and develop digital currencies that they can control. They will simply ban, or label as terrorists anyone who stands in their way. Just look at what Trudeau is doing in Canada. It’s not about money, it is about control. And if cryptos begin to threaten their control, they will eliminate them. That is the main reason not to HODL, when the time is right the globalists will bury cryptos and/or the people who use them.
The DHS quote claims that XRP is not controlled by governments or institutions, if that is true they will move to eliminate it. If it is not true (a possibility I find more plausible) then they control it but want you to believe they don’t. Machiavellian and brilliant plan isn’t it?
I have no clue how this all works out in the end no more then you or anyone else does. Come back in 20yrs like you said you would, your wasting your time here
and it would be much better suited for the MISINFORMATION thread where you fit right in.
Could go either way.

l if cryptos are still going strong in 20 years
PeopleUnited saysif cryptos are still going strong in 20 years
Will you still be alive in 20 years? Serious question.
It's getting interesting:
Could go either way. I'm still hoping for a serious crash.

Ripple – Banks Go All-in!
Top banks like the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM)(NYSE:CM) are using XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) for payments!
WTF do banks care. If their gamble doesn't pay off, they just cry they are a societal necessity and get a bail out. Of course they are taking any and every moral hazard and risk. WTF is your point?

A recent report has also shown that Bitcoin mining revenue rose 206% in 2021 despite many countries cracking down on crypto mining and China even banning it. The US has become the nation with the most Bitcoin miners.

Let me make a comparison to a more mature market.
The following is a multi-year chart of the EUR vs USD, with the 50 bar exponential moving average (EMA) as the indicator on the chart. As anyone can observe, when the spot price is above the 50 EMA, there are more bullish trading opportunities (in green) than below it. And when it's below the 50 EMA, bearish events (in red) tend to be more common.
Now, contrast the above with that of BITCOIN vs USD. Whenever the 50 EMA is tested, the bearish opportunities are sparse and really don't even given bonafide short sellers much time to maneuver w/o a near term rally taking 'em out.
All and all, that's a bullish market with a high amount of sentiment on the upside. So until we see a general overall market meltdown, I'm not calling curtains on the cryptos.
