Owning a particular currency was made illegal by a government. That government enforced that policy by force of arms. That currency ceased to exist. Ergo it is not ignorant to claim that s government can eliminate a currency & quite the opposite it’s ignorant to say its impossible.
They could eliminate it because it had a central point of control. There are over two hundred other countries and a black market that can't be stopped even if the US outlaws Bitcoin.
Making it illegal didn't make people not have it, just like the gold executive order, so that hasn't proven your case. Making the government cease to exist and therefore ceasing to be redeemable only proves my case.
