What is the greatest risk for bitcoin and altcoins?

[Ferki]

I was able to post that on the Bitcoin forum, but I think that most of the altcoins are still dependent on the bitcoins price.
So why could the Bitcoin price go down by more than 50% and when?

I have my theories and I heard one for the first time today, which led me to open this thread.
Can you ban Bitcoin?
I don't think so. What should you ban there, the numbers? Why should a government ban the whole cryptocurrency when it can benefit well from it?
They will regulate it according to their taste and will create new taxes. The whole thing will put some pressure on the price, but there won't be a huge crash. Why would you sell bitcoin when you can emigrate somewhere else, where you can use and trade it. For example Singapore. They have great regulations there, protect their customers and investors and give them a lot of freedom. Since the price depends on whales and their sales or purchases anyway, they will also go where it is best for them. And we, as little fish, are not trees either, we can also choose where we can go. Of course, assume that the investments are a bit bigger and that you are not restricted in your freedom.
And then there is such a thing as Black Swan of crypto, one thing that can come unexpectedly but cause a big move in price.
We all know that someone who sells 20k Bitcoin quickly can drop the price by 10-20%. It is the same in the opposite case.
Now I come to the story I heard today.
What do you think what would happen if the great Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly came and wanted to sell his 1-2 million Bitcoins?
The biggest crash of all time!

Of course these are just my theories and I would like to be taught a better one.
Therefore, I would be happy to hear your opinion, any new theories that would make me think, or learn something new.

They only way, to ban, is prohibit the exchanges, for fiat currency. But, decentralized exchanges, will move on.

When we talk about banning it has to happen in the USA, Europe and other countries that govern a bit more democratically so that it has a real impact on price. After the ban in Nigeria and something like that in India, Bitcoin jumped to new ATH or something.

The greatest thing is losing a lot of money.IN crypto, it is very risks and one of the risks is losing the crypto very easily. We may get a bad price when buying and then the price drops suddenly. And we may be scammed by somebody other.

Satoshi is back?
It is impossible. I am sure that he is not kind of untrusted person/people. If he wants to do it, for what?

The sensible and smart governments of the world don't ban bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Why? They know they would profit from it. They would regulate it, which is nice and good

Yes, I agree . I think the greatest risk for bitcoin is government if they will ban crypto currency. It should be thought. Because when the government ban bitcoinnmad altcoin, we will lost the chance to invest in crypto currency.

If he sells his coins, then of course the price will fall, but then it can recover after a long time.

Indeed, they know that illegal activites won't be stopped even if they ban bitcoin or crypto-currency. But it can be reduced by regulating in there and every crypto related company will co-operate with the government to do so. Also, government can get a huge tax from crypto investors which will be helpful for the growth of that country.

For Bitcoin, it is governments' open attacks. Yeah they cannot prevent it easily. But you all know, they can easily destroy this space.

You have to understand that when the price goes down because a huge amount of Bitcoin is being sold, the price doesn't just stand there. Many will sell even cheaper for fear of their investments. Above all, the trust that has lasted for 11 years is suddenly lost. And our entire financial system is built on trust.
It will take years again to reach today's level of trust.

The government will not ban crypto. But they will surely regulate it by putting tax on trading and holding crypto. Because they are also positive about blockchain technology.

Satoshi Nakamoto will not ever come in front of us. But as he didnt publish his identity so far i dont think he will ever do so.

Paying attention to the cryptocurrency market, governments will not ignore the regulatory issue of cryptocurrencies. Moreover, they never left alone the income and expenses of their citizens.

I believe that Bitcoin will rise in waves and fall by 80-85% just a matter of time. The fall will begin when no one is waiting for it, but I hope it will not happen this year. The fall will begin with some very bad news, for example, a complete ban on bitcoin in some countries.

I think the biggest risk with Bitcoin and the whole of cryptocurrency is if the USA will decide to do what china did. As for cryptocurrency, it is actually the USA that is making this whole thing alive - this can be debatable of course, but I could not imagine if one day the USA is going to be closing its door to Bitcoin and the rest of the gang, similar to what transpired in China years ago. Yes, technically no country can ban Bitcoin or any coin for that matter but trading them to fiat cash can be difficult and many platforms deriving its business due to Bitcoin can stop doing business. Good thing that I think we can be sure that USA will never do the China thing and I think it is possible that USA can even utilize Bitcoin as one of the many tools to partly counteract the coming economic and political supremacy of China.
