In my opinion, politics has a huge impact on crypto. Even though crypto was developed to be independent and to become an alternative to our current monetary systems, I think that politics can turn this upside down. Just think of the lawmakers. A state could ban crypto easily - just like that. Nevertheless how much their population enjoyed it or not. Just think of the states in which Uber is banned to protect the taxi drivers. Don't you think they will not ban crypto too to protect banks or their monetary system? To be honest, I think this will happen if the government doesn't get enough profits out of this.
