One that comes to my mind is this: governments may attempt to impose tighter controls (although without results) on these technologies to protect their own financial systems.

I think short term, having the POTUS rug pull people with a shitcoin is a pretty good way to scare people away from bitcoin.
The average person doesn't understand the difference between bitcoin and crypto.

Why do you think the potus rugging people with a shit coin would scare people away from bitcoin? Almost every person I talk to in real life understands bitcoin is much different than crypto or is just a no coiner. Nobody I've talked to has ever said anything like trump coin has better properties as money than bitcoin. And if they do that's not bad for bitcoin only for the idiot that buys trumpcoin or any other shit coin.

Then you're living in a bubble. Most people don't understand bitcoin at all.

The answer is no. People don't understand the difference between shitcoin and bitcoin. If you think that the average person does, then you live in a bubble.

What real world experiences have you had to believe that most think trumpcoin and bitcoin are the same? Because almost everyone I have talked to In real life from neighbors, friends, family and even the occasional stranger understands the difference very well. I will concede that there are perhaps so nocoiners who have kept there head in the sand and don't want anything to do with this topic(mostly old people and woman) but they have no real opinion when the topic gets brought up. And you can say I live in a bubble but I have had this conversation many times across a wide range of people of different background and they all understand the difference between trumpcoin(or any other shit meme coin) and bitcoin. But even so perhaps more importantly to your original point of trumpcoin being one of the biggest challenges bitcoin can face I want to reiterate trumpcoin is not a challenge to bitcoin, nor is any other shitcoin. It is a challenge to the retards who waste their time money and resources getting involved with it. Again not to bitcoin at all.

People don't make the difference because for both bitcoin and shitcoin they think of making profits by selling higher than they bought. Somebody understanding bitcoin would never think about selling back to fiat
