By your logic, banning it through regulation decreases options and hence diversification.

Governments are not angels which seems to be an assumption in your and sibling replies. They're a bully who doesn't want someone else to get power.

I'm not being extreme, humor me. If the govt didn't want a monopoly, isn't it a hypocrisy that they themselves are one?

The proper thing to would've been to get closer to anarcho-capitalism, ie let there be govt currency and FB's libra. Let people decide what they want to use.
