How Governments Can Easily Kill Bitcoin
From Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University
# Video Description
> In this video, I discuss two actions that governments could take that would permanently destroy Bitcoin:
1) Stop censoring money and freezing bank accounts
2) Stop over-spending and start living within their means
> This two-prong attack could decimate demand for Bitcoin block space, thereby starving Bitcoin miners of transaction fee revenue.
> As we see increasing government benevolence and competence spread across the globe, the risks of owning Bitcoin could skyrocket.
> Fortunately, we will still have government-issued money like US dollars and Euros. In a scenario like this, this so-called "fiat money" could become an increasingly important store of value and medium of exchange over time.
