Iirc it ramped up very rapidly after Nixon. First heroin/weed, then cocaine, then meth, then opiods... a sort of one-size-fits all anti-narco state (funny since the 10th century had narco states). I can see crypto going the same way with one asset after the other being targeted

The gravity defying upward trend of crytpo as an asset class is only about a decade old. Going by drugs and other similar examples, I think it takes about 2-3 decades for a "war" of reaction to kick in

personally, I think crypto is too interesting / powerful for citizen / tax tracking to truly vilify. if they're serious about this thing where all US bank accounts above $600 are going to be snooped on, they'd _love_ a financial system where the entire chain is visible

Yes. tl;dr really the only credible thing that would survive non-compliance is Bitcoin. You can run it on raspis and broadcast using ham radio. Next closest thing relies on aws or similar for even minimal function. It is really a giant chasm of a difference.
