such efforts by centralized entities be it government of the internet provides, doesn’t really stop the bitcoin network. Bitcoin network continues to operate as if nothing happened. That is the beauty of decentralization. As the bitcoin mining keeps getting distributed to more and more different geographic locations, this network gets even more resilient and decentralized.
Though its true that, it keeps getting distributed, people of that country definitely stop paying attention, because at the end, anything that is not usable is value less - be it for some specific people. For example, India is planning to bring a new bill - now, if I cannot use the money that I have, what purpose it solves. At the end, we still need regulators approval to spend those money as a law abiding person. Unfortunately, the regulators don't understand it - they do not have any negative impact, instead they will get more tax. Still...
Yes, governments always lags behind and slow to act. But mainly it seems more about taxes and money for them anyway. As time goes by newer generations replace the current officials and they have more educated approach. But even then they will lag behind what future brings. lol. cycle continues.
