My old friend, @nima.montazeri, has recently joined STEEM blockchain and steemit social media. He has always been a talent since our childhood and I believe cryptocurrency needs adopters like him. He asked me a question, I'm gonna comment on here:

does any political issues influence on the rate of it or not?

FIRST - this is not cryptocurrency which will affect governments and politics mainly, it's BLOCKCHAIN.
blockchain technology, started by BITCOIN will make many power sources, decentralized and accordingly, will make them out of reach of governors for further manipulation and control.

Let's go back to early decades after the world war II.
The Capitalism was effectively control:

• banking
• media

The interactive websites on internet, which many call them web 2.0, started the process of decentralization of media. look how twitter, youtube, blogger and many other social media websites, diluted the power of CNN and ABCNews in the America. there are personal channels with more audiences than the orthodox media and there are many new celebrities, with money and power to influence, which did not came out of Hollywood studios.

welcome to PewDiePie era! a Scandinavian young youtuber, playing games on his computer, making videos of himself and has more influence on teenagers than Justin Timberlake!

Now Banking segment seems to be compromised from being totally under control by governments. with the blockchain innovation, people may trust each other more than they used to trust central banks and financial regulators. the algorithm seems flawless and less fragile to security threats than banks' software and atm machines!

So the Crypto and Blockchain will have certain impacts on the political lobbies and governments. what about the other side?

Everybody tries to keep the power he/she has achieved. it's like the Game of Thrones and Lannisters and Targaryens are fighting for the iron throne. In some countries we have individuals, like Erdogan in Turkey or there might be Lobbies like NRA, Koch brothers etc in United States, who try to save their power and wealth by manipulating the whole economic and political ecosystems.

So when something like Social Media spread in the community, they will try to do whatever they can: like banning, censorship, regulating etc to keep their power of manipulation in the society.

They may even invest in some of these new trends, like the Internet Toilet, also called FACEBOOK!
Same goes here on Crypto. Governors have tried to ban them, regulate them, manipulation and even investing in some.

So your answer is YES! They affect the Cryptocurrency ecosystem, prices etc. but the next possible question might be:

will they defeat the new social trend?

NO! I believe people are going to win this war. the war over a world with less control and more financial freedom. exactly as it happened in Media.
Will it be a better place to live? I don't know!

Same again on social media and the loads of bullsh!t spread by some people in to the decentralized media-sphere, crypto ecosystem can become toxic to fake and scam ICOs, creating many disgusting scenes.
