Bitcoin Q&A: Political orientation and resisting cashlessness

Will governments become desperate and ban bitcoin? There have already been attempts in Ecuador, China, and India. When will central bank and corporate digital currencies come into play? Is Germany resisting cashlessness? What is the political orientation of the Bitcoin economy? Why is the left vs. right political spectrum outdated?

These questions are from the Munich Bitcoin meetup and the July monthly patron session, which took place on June 27th and July 27th 2019, respectively.
