It's already too late for them to crush it. Bitcoin's decentralization is forcing the hand of other nations. If xyz country tries to stamp it out, that's a competitor's opportunity to embrace it.
We're seeing this happen in real time with the US taking a harsh stance against bitcoin/crypto while China/Russia are starting to cozy up.
Oh, I'm sure if one single country went hard at suppressing it, it would still work worldwide. Even if it was a large, important country.
But still, I would be concerned about political oppression. Most of the keyboard warriors will shit their pants the moment they see a baton. If some prominent bitcoiner would be arrested, I think we would be negatively surprised at how little would be made about it.

There unfortunately will be political oppression, but history is not kind to nations who rejected innovation
