"if people value it"

People stop valueing it when they can't do anything with it. Currently no one cares about crypto for anything besides gambling. There is a very long way ahead for any crypto to become anything else.

". I've lost a ton of trust in the Canadian government after they deemed it illegal to donate to a cause they disagree with." You are still in a democracy. Feel free to move to russia if you prefer a dictatorship. but otherwise its your responsibility to accept democratic decisions you don't like or you don't understand.

I'm not saying its always fair or that democracy/canada is the best thing in the world but for you as an individual, with the current options that actually is the best case for you.

"Only the rich will benefit from banning cryptocurrency." the rich don't care. They benefit from everything which makes money.
