Here is what I see each time the government tries to stop or control bitcoin-


https://i.imgur.com/rFzTXc3.jpg



Bitcoin is designed to be censorship resistant, peer-to-peer payment system designed to remove the control by centralized institutions like banks . When bitcoin eventually achieve mass adoption, it will not really be much of an issue if some Governments place a ban on it within their countries.

That is not a surprise and they are trying to do that through media and many sources most of the time but what they haven't understand that how can they control a decentralized currency. Because if they wants to stop a fiat currency or a social media site they can just take down there system through politics or lows but for bitcoin the core network is not centralized to any organization or a group of people so they can make bitcoin holders to fear and sell there assets or make some local restrictions but other than that nothing can be done until we have faith in it and that is the most important fact that can decide the bitcoins future

I belive that bitcoin go to up off his knees and raising over Fiat money

It will eventually, it will only take time.Adoption is a slow process

If even goverments want to stop Bitcoin, then they get it badly. States recognize Bitcoin and this is of great importance. I think in the future goverments will use Bitcoin.

It's true that majority of the governments can't control bitcoin or any other cryptos at its raw nature. But on the other hand they have few more mechanisms in place to take the entire game to a different playing field.

To stop such an advanced technology, they can resort to primitive techniques like regulatory interrogation.

Lets assume, you earn 60k USD from your day job. You have also earned 20k USD from bitcoins or any other crytpo related method. Now while filing your tax information, you have shown the entire 80k income in your tax sheet. The tax authority can immediately pitch in to know from where that extra 20k came from. If you don't have a convincing reason, you will land in trouble.

I am sure majority of the governments will resort to such techniques once they will understand that cryptos can't be stopped technically.

Yes they want to stop or  bitcoin but i doubt that they stop this because bitcoin now was now world wide currency that easy to use for any transaction and if they want to manipulate bitcoin they cant because bitcoin is not part of government property so that no one can stop spreading news regarding bitcoin.

The problem is if the user keeps queue on the gate lines. Currently, there are some people that giving away their identity to just use cryptocurrencies it is ironic if we know decentralized is the nature of it. Some people are blindly giving their personal identity without worrying about anything, it makes no difference to a fiat system that usually being used.

i think the adoption is gradual process, even if government  try to ban it.. is just for a few countries because my country uses bitcoin for transactions mostly restaurant over here are accepting bitcoin.

clearly their effort is appreciated  ;D

The government is always against anything they will not have some benefits from. Moreover, looking at bitcoin and the blockchain technology, people into bitcoin will not save all their money in the bank and the government gain some kinda benefits from banks, they will try to stop anything that will prevent people from invest in banks.

That's what happens, where competition is getting tighter and bitcoin has good power for its development. It is as if the development of bitcoin threatens the country's finances and is afraid of negative forms such as smuggling and laundering.

I keep saying I compare this bitcoin as another money system just like our secondary school knowledge on money like trade by batter, etc

AM optimistic it will be adopted and its gonna be soon

Creating bitcoin to me is selflessness, a decentralized platform is the joker behind it so it has to stay

As long as you never let them put your wallet address together with your name through any KYC type of bullshit then Bitcoin will always remain free.  The second we give up and let them identify us the crypto will be used as a weapon against us.  It all comes down to if we fight KYC.  This means your  going to have to be a big boy and be responsible for your own security and you are also responsible from protecting yourself from hackers.  Can't go crying to the government to save you.  Are you sure you want to be free? 

I think this is not a good thing. The day to day technology, like a Bitcoin currency, is a vital part of money. It also makes far transactions easy. However, I think people who prefer Bitcoin will be opposed to banning Bitcoin.

A government that tries to stop bitcoin is a negative thing that will emerge, everything feels stiff and limits the development of bitcoin and the global market.
How wise the government will legalize bitcoin, which certainly brings good luck. Every day development always increases and develops well, so don't let this government stop bitcoin.

Government they trying to stop because is it illegal at the same time many people they have an doing bitcoin as currency of money, people is not harmful what they know doing.

Yes you are right that when Bitcoin will eventually achieve mass adoption, it will not really be much of an issue if some Governments place a ban on it within their country .The main reason for any country for not allowing the use of Bitcoin is the fact that it is not under the control of any government. So in order to stop or we can say to prevent it's misuse they will simply ban it.

bitcoin in every country only threatens the banking system instead of threatening the country itself, all banks are disturbed by the emergence of bitcoin as a more sophisticated transaction system than banks in general, one reason for sure they lost many bank customers, bitcoin users only use banks as streams funds for disbursement into fiat money that will be used directly not to save in the bank, sorry that is only my opinion

Bitcoin adoption continues to occur and bitcoin continues to grow until we see the market finally recovering slowly. I personally do not feel worried or afraid if there is one government from the existing country prohibiting bitcoin, because I believe there are still many countries that support bitcoin, statistics of bitcoin legalization around the world we can see and bitcoin legalization has been done by many countries. So with a ban or anything from just one government, I am sure that is not a feared threat.

Bitcoin was created for freedom from banks and a rotten economy so that people could use it anonymously and independently of the state ! The state will not be able to influence it, as it is controlled only by people and in their hands all the power .

We all believed that bitcoin can go up again, but I don't see it raising over Fiat system. Most countries (specially 3rd world), relies on fiat in order to function. So we won't see fiat getting overrun by crypto. They will continue to flourish together with crypto market.


Its gonna be slow, remember bitcoin is just on its early stage, we are barely 10 years, so there's going to be a lot of things to change in the next 10 years. We don't know, we might see adoption coming, but stopping bitcoin is a different thing. Government can't stop it at his point.

The government has been trying and has been hopelessly failing to stop the wave of Bitcoins users, some government have acted wisely and made it a legal tender like Japan. I feel bitcoins has the potential to uplift developing nations the most as they'll get a currency that'll appreciate in time, and can be cashed for fiat. If only governments were wiser they should legalise it and then tax it, this way both the users and governments shall earn money, as bitcoins cannot be stopped by any rules, or boundaries.

I don't think there's a possibility that something like that might happen. They can remove obstacles, try to restrict them, but not stop them. Because no one can stop technology and change.

Bitcoin has no owner and that probably is the only reason why it is illegal in so many countries. Government of such countries try to stop bitcoin because of the potential threats the anonymity of such a powerful currency carries. If it were only a little more controllable it would have been viewed totally differently especially by the governments of countries.

Bitcoin claims that “It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen.”

That lack of central authority is the primary reason governments are afraid of the crypto currency. To understand this fear,

It is important to know a little bit about governments and conventional currencies.

I think the government shouldn't bother with trying to stop bitcoin, but instead use it as an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, why not impose tax to earn out of it.

haha that's really sarcasm, because in my opinion that is how the government can prohibit btc while BTC is circulating in cyberspace where there is no government at all, that's why I am attracted to btc which is very flexible and anonymous, making anyone free to use and use it for buy anything

Governments can not control Bitcoin due to it's decentralized nature, they can and will regulate exchanges, and trading in it through conventional channels such as banks, this will mean that it will always  be an interesting but marginal system. The tech behind it however will be adopted into the mainstream.

That's normal. It's like to stop killing of people. It's illegal and the punishment for it is rough, but don't people kill anymore? So I do not see the difference between stopping bitcoin and stopping killing.

“In addition to cheap [cryptocurrency] mining costs, another thing that the Eastern European countries which appear on this list have in common is that all have gone through prolonged periods of war and recession recently, which has resulted in the poor working class losing trust in government and banks,” Jesse Cohen, a senior analyst at Investing.com, said in an emailed statement to The Independent.

because the government regards bitcoin as a currency that cannot be tracked who owns it, and is too easy for people to use for crimes, such as drug transactions or it

This is not something new. It is most Bitcoin and crypto currency holders moan due that local government will stop of bitcoin. In fact, Bitcoin now is becoming rapidly grow wider, means that bitcoin is acceptable and useful for many people. It would be better that government stop trying to stop or ban bitcoin, there should be a rules and regulation of it. Government should realize that this trend of digital money is useful even comfort of today life.

Government will have way to block bitcoin, but users will have many ways to access it. It is true, in internet world anything we can do without prohibition if we want. Only thing that we know is we must take responsibility for that.

There are a number of governments trying to stop the BTC because they always think the BTC is bad, BTC is the money to support the terrorists, but the BTC has many positive aspects if applied to them. live will be ok

Every new technology not always be acceptable in short time even it will bring a better future. Just like bitcoin, I am not surprised if many government of the country trying to stop it. But, I am sure soon of latter bitcoin will get the right place for our life.

Yes many government want to stop bitcoin and its progress. Because its progress creates a lot of problems for them. According to many government bitcoin affects their economy growth. It affects their country national currency value at international market and also affects their national bank profits and because of this reason China ban it first. Chinese government also influences many other government to ban it in other country. Association of bitcoin us another reason behinds it ban in many country like Israel, Ecuador etc.

govt can announce bitcoin is ban but actually they cant stop using it.
bitcoin is p2p transactional thing and decentralized and heart of blockchain.

I think those countries Who are REALLY aimed to digital Era understand that it is impossible with out some kind of Cryptocurrency, but if course they want to control it. So they want to stop spreading of clear p2p and free coins like btc. But they need to understand that if they Will not offer us an Awesome alternative bitcoin community and philosophy Will crash the old world order

Several Governments and heads of states have been against bitcoin and its transactions because they cannot receive any tax on the currency. But that is not a big deal you know? they can never stop bitcoin.

I think that this was, i mean such attemtps but i hope not to see them again because it is unwise from the side of governments. To my mind, it is better to stop trying btc because it is our future

i'm not sure they can stop or control bitcoin
which they can only control exchange crypto by forcing users to do KYC and so on

I think, goverment want to make that process of financial revolution slower. Maybe they want to prepare something. What do you think?

Yes they are who always negative thinking about bitcoin will difficult to change their mind. Illegal activities existed long before Bitcoin was created and illegal activities Will always exist with or without bitcoin. In my country is really difficult to find a job but bitcoin help people in my country to improve their economy, it's mean bitcoin has helped the government. So I think the government must consider the benefits of bitcoin rather than ban it.

the step taken by the government now is only a step that cannot run smoothly. now bitcoin will definitely grow tall and become one of the potential coins. so bitcoin will grow high and it is not easy to stop anyone including the government.

I think like that in the future the government will use bitcoin, even though now it prohibits and stops bitcoin, I think everyone knows that. but I'm sure the future of bitcoin will be bright

Its true, bitcoin designed decentralized system and no one regulation from government can touch bitcoin. I think satoshi anticipate this regulation and thats why he created bitcoin as decentralized cryptocurrency

it makes sense if bitcoin is used with a variety of crimes that have occurred ... but there are also countries that do not prohibit, even support bitcoin because of technological advances now. for that, use bitcoin as it should so that it will have a positive impact on the country and the government ... !!

I am doubt government will use bitcoin or others cryptocurrency. If government decide using cryptocurrency, i am believe they will create their own because they can control it. Government can not stop bitcoin because its decentralized and no one can control the supply

I don't know what the government of each country wants, maybe what they want for the security of their people when using Bitcoin. by controlling Bitcoin, the government tries to provide security for its people, even though this is very contrary to the system in Bitcoin. But I hope that the government can fully support Bitcoin.

I agree with you. Bitcoin is going to accept because it can be a great help to increase the economic growth and people have something to work with where they can earn enough for everyday living. The government could see how it going to help everyone and the importance of it that they could also gain.

Because they want to manage but the blockchain is no one managed  ;D

Yes, government is taking measures on behalf of centrazlized banking system who is feeling the heat. With some regulation and framework, virtual currency should be allowed by governments so that people can trade.

yes, governments are trying their best to kill bitcoin, but they wont succeed.

Absolutely right many countries government are trying to stop Bitcoin using their country,but it's never possible and they won't success yet. Bitcoin designed decentralized system and this their countries will not killed Bitcoin.

Bitcoin digital money is now increasingly used as a means of payment transactions by the world community. Even so, the central bank in the world. still worried about the existence and use of digital money in the community. University of Indonesia Economic Observer Chatib Basri actually views the opposite. According to him, the government should be able to accept the existence of bitcoin as a digital currency.

I agree with this. The government will soon will. They may be in the process of understanding what is bitcoin, and as of this moment they see only the negative effects. They do not look on the brighter side in which it is the potential of bitcoin. It can help boosting the economy and the life of human nations. Bitcoin will probably be used in the future by almost all people.

Several Governments and heads of states have been against bitcoin and its transactions because they cannot receive any tax on the currency. But that is not a big deal you know? they can never stop bitcoin. ;)

The issue is if all the users keeps lines on the door lines. As of now, there are a few people that giving endlessly their personality to simply utilize digital forms of money it is amusing in the event that we know decentralized is its idea. A few people are indiscriminately giving their own personality without stressing over anything, it has no effect to a fiat framework that as a rule being utilized.

I think the goverments don't know what to do actually can't know it. This is a new world order and it is new to the banks and the goverments as well. So they act veird because they don't have an answer to many question right now about cryptocurrency. They also know that they may use cryptos in the future for better money system..

Prevention is grounded in the fact that the authorities see the crypto side. I don't comment that everything related to the cryptocurrency market is bad but the effects from it make many people also worry.

Well, there are lots of reasons some countries try to stop bitcoin. Why? Because pf its decentralized it can be used in fraud and other illegal activities which is not good to our economy. Still governments wants to know more about bitcoin and theu trigger some bitcoinist to knowwhat is the effect of it. Some country banned bitcoin because they can not control it.

Yes but how can there be mass adoption when even awareness and education about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is even a challenge up to this very date? How can people adopt to it until everyone does when there is no system in place to have it done? Do you have any idea whatsoever?

As we all know that Bitcoin is based on blockchain technology which relies on the principle of decentralization which takes away the power from the centralised authorities and gives it to the users who are using it, this not only optimises that time but also it utilizes the power of masses that reduces the cost of the transaction with an improved level of trust. That's why the government is not willing to transfer the power to us.

When there is a mass adoption of Bitcoin, I think the ban is no longer meaningful. I think Bitcoin will stay alive as long as people are still interested in adopting it.

There is a very good picture in the second post of this topic, illustrating intentions of some local governments to prohibit global cryptocurrency. This is useless and resembles the struggle of Don Quixote with windmills.

Bitcoin restrictions is a west of time, because bitcoin is a Crypto currency that has a potential to save the world, and secondly it is a digital asset which many people invest and trade every 24hrs of the day. Which is government.

If governments could effectively stop a peer to peer network, they would’ve shut down the illegal practices of torrent websites over a decade ago. Even the success of the hydra-like torrent sites isn’t a perfect analogy for bitcoin, though, because cryptocurrency's legal status is far easy to debate.

Even many times Government trying to stop bitcoin but it doesn't happen because a lot of people are still using it and fighting for it. Bitcoin gives freedom to everyone from government that's why it is decentralized that if ever mass adoption will continue i think ban has no place for bitcoin. Bitcoin will continue to lived and survive because people keep believing on it.

This could be happening because cryptos are not regulated. Once they are, AML BitCoin will be accepted everywhere and by everyone.

Exactly, in fact even one country ban bitcoin there are still so many countries who keeps on supporting this technology so technically when time comes those ban decision will be revoke and they will finally support not just bitcoin but also other cryptos. Be confident in this market, I believe we will on a good journey towards a greater future.

hahaha its right, when government involved to stop bitcoin and starting to block the bitcoin website i think it happen like that, because of there are many ways to reach to bitcoin nobody can't block bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies

Not all government wants to stop bitcoin, because the stoping was only happen to those country who didnt accept it (banned).  But most the country in asia are totally accepted this bitcoin to use, maybe this op concerns are about to happen to those countries who totally banned bitcoin but not implemented in all countries around the globe.

the government cannot stop bitcoin, whatever is done by the government to ban bitcoin, will only make bitcoin survive and the popularity of bitcoin gets better.

Very good opinion and I like the way you think.
In my opinion that between bitcoi and the government need each other because both can complement each other to meet personal needs so that both can recognize how important it is if between bitcoin and the united government. I think in the future the government will use Bitcoin.

Government trying to stop bitcoin it is just impossible because bitcoin is a peer to peer computer network programme used in transaction process government has not sufficient technology to controll it.

I wouldn't say that because they have insufficient technology to stop bitcoin, but this is a global phenomena sweeping each and every nation. Regulations is the only solution for them (for tax purposes) and not to control or ban bitcoin or crypto in general.

In order for a government to stop a bitcoin or any virtual trading it may violated most of its rules, terms and conditions. We all know that bitcoin really helps people as what the data says. But because of some misuse and overuse of this system governments are making moves to control the damages and reduce the number of victims. Maybe government is doing this because they want to make sure that everyone is safe and not being scammed or hacked.

:D I think the government is doing this to reassure the conservatives, and in fact, it understands that the digital revolution is unstoppable.

I think the government is doing this out of desperation. It understands perfectly well that bitcoin can not be fully controlled (as the government needs), so they put a spoke in the wheels.

No one can stop bitcoin is working in all the country of the world and now with his high price bitcoin will be very popular and anyone want to have income from it

the government tries to stop bitcoin is something that will not happen, now bitcoin can develop to the best position and has a high price that is not based on government support. but only support from many people, so I don't think that will happen.

I also agree bro. even though they are hesitant about trying to close bitcoin, I don't think it's possible, bro. but who can determine the fate The digital world of bitcoin is the future. because the world of bitcoin can grow because of the large number of people who invest in it

Government force will only make us pursue more anonymization. Ultimately guiding us to the road of tax-avoidance.

The government should never have gotten enough force to oppress the citizens to this extent. On every step we are dragged down by taxes and laws that don't help the population but the special interests.

They can force the cryptocurrency community to the shadows but the long term war is one that they'd lose. Since it's so obvious they might as well play ball.

Well, what you see is not what really happening because when your government bans bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, it will be impossible to use it otherwise they will treat you as a criminal.
Governments know that they can not shut down the network but they put laws criminalizing any one using it and their strategy works good.

Many countries have enacted regulations to curb the development of bitcoin. They do not want the bitcoin to spread too fast and cause currency turmoil in the world. Banks around the world have made many strict rules for bitcoin operations.

The truth is that their efforts are indeed a waste of time in the long-term.

Even if the short-term there are a lot of ways to avoid censorship by close-minded governments that it's really interesting how they believe banning it will do anything meaningful to anybody who really wants to do it. Mass adoption will not happen yet anyways.

The image is in fact pretty accurate.

Nothing can stop and control bitcoin, because bitcoin will continue to grow and every country will need bitcoin.

It is really more than a gate with no fences arround it. There is no denying how pivotal the role of the governments when it concerns bitcoin and the cryptocurrency as a whole.

Sure, bitcoin might be able to exist even without government backing, but a total government take down can hurt the digital currency in serious ways and that is something we won't be happy about.

We cannot be too stubborn on the government issues against bitcoin. As a community believing in cryptocurrency, we will be better off without any rift with the governments.

I think bitcoin will never be stopped or be banned by the government. Even the other cryptocurrencies, it won't be banned also because this is just the beginning of cryptocurrencies and bitcoin in the future will be a legal currency. So there's no need to ban bitcoin.

I don't think so, any attempts to control the bitcoin simply won't work because bitcoin is decentralized in nature. They can never ever kill it, there is no way. Bitcoin is not linked to any territory or financial institution, it is too complex for the government to destroy it.

The government provides easy monetary policy for the banking system. The banks then created a large leveraged asset boom, then emerged, destroying the virtual economy boom and accounting for much of the country's productivity with it. Using Bitcoin will fight inflation and greed.

That is quite funny what they are trying to do but many governments have understood that it is very hard to stop all the transactions as it is decentralized. Governments wants the control over everything and that will be really hard to do with crypto.

Yea, eventually all governments that are using Fiat currencies, will fail and they will not be able to build the fence to stop people from using Bitcoin or some other Alt coin. Bitcoin was designed to be unstoppable and we are seeing several fruitless attempts by governments to stop it.

The adoption will grow, because of their failure and not just about the success of Bitcoin. The problem is most people does not recognize their own governments failures or they are to scared to challenge them.  ::)

yes now there are enough countries that want to stop bitcoin, it's only natural because every new technology will take time to be accepted, I'm sure that over time bitcoin will be accepted in all countries in the world.

The government will block everything ,ban everything that they can not control and endanger them. But bitcoin is a revolution in digital technology that will be applied in the future.They can hardly stop the bitcoin forever. With the strong development of bitcoin I think they soon accepted bitcoin instead of banning it.

Well since bitcoin is a decentralized commodity the government will never allow it total adoption, government as a regulatory and rule making entity will always option in to what the can control but bitcoin can not be regulated nor control by the government. So at that they will try all means to ban or kill bitcoin but with time they will know that they efforts will yield no result at all.

I think not all government is stoping bitcoin. Therr are some government accept and legalize him. Infact they also supporting it. It is just many people are trying to use bitcoin for scamming people thats why many government today are stoping bitcoin.

i Think government is against bitcoin because there cant be government regulations imposed on it

the government wants to stop but they do not have the opportunity to do it since there is no technology to control the data I think it's not soon that everyone will be able to take control

What you see isn't necessarily correct. You should remember that half of the truth isn't true. That only confuses people around other Bitcoin values and the crypto market.

Even the government trying to stop Bitcoin but they cannot stop lot of people to used and as long as many people are still pursuing to used Bitcoin. I think its better to government to not tamper those people who want to earn by using cryptocurrency because they don't see Bitcoin is really helpful especially in financial  to all of people who used it. And I think they cannot stop it because they don't how its technology wotks.

They cannot stopped the rapid grow of crypto currency even they want to. Because we are in modern world where virtual things exist (as digital). And as modern technology grown, a lot of new stuffs showns and exist like crypto currency. Meaning even they want to stopped or banned crypto now, there is another way to born a new way to accept crypto worldwide.

  Precisely, bitcoin's modification was intendly grown promising as well the development in behind of the modern technologies. Even if the other government against bitcoin and take it illicitly of their country, still this asset is hard to cease as many people pursuing bitcoin as a support fund. And Maybe in the next more years some government will adopt and take bitcoin legally, that may help people in an appropriate way and for the next generation.

It only happens in some countries, not the whole world. You should not be so worried about this. There are some countries that have accepted bitcoin like, Russia, USA, Korea. These are big countries and I know what they are looking for in the crypto market.

I believe that there is really is a problem or something to worry about when it comes to bitcoin banning. As a matter of fact, it is a country’s decision and by that it felt so lucky for some people who live in a country where they are patronising bitcoin.

Ya i feel Government wants to stop tis use of bitcoin.Even in India RBI has banned this and i dont think they will allow this anymore.So everyone has a excitement to know  the future of bitcoin and how will it move on

lolz... I totally agree with you. the Goverments are trying to do a worthless job. Bitcoin cant be controled. However, I wanna warn you that the Governments cant control BTC but they can give the bad news or information to reduce the investors trust in crypto. That makes the market dies

If even goverments want to stop bitcoin, then they get it badly.in my counsel they cannot stopped the rapid grow of crypto currency.and it is a legal currency.i m sure that period bitcoin will be adopted in all clime in the universe.

This is true. It will probably soon happen. But then it takes time and a lot of process and the first thing is for the government to accept the bitcoin. They might not accept it today but if you realize what is it really for, the government will accept it and help the people to have easier life.

Yes government are against in crypto because they know that they cannot enter this by their policies , they cannot wt money through it and it can stop the community from being employed from the government in that case government will loose money from the community.

I agree.Bitcoin may continue to grow even more particularly in the following years and i know mass adoption will also take place but it takes time and effort to make it happen.If only the government will be open to all the good benefits that bitcoin may provide,then surely it will be a legal currency as early as possible.

not all governments ban bitcoin, there are also governments that legalize bitcoin. if the government prohibits bitcoin because it is a regulation from certain countries. many people who like to cheat by using bitcoin so the government closes it.

I think the Adoption is Gradual Process, Even if government  try to ban it..
Is just for a few countries because my country uses bit-coin for transactions mostly restaurant over here are accepting bit-coin.

For me government can't stop bitcoin because there are so many people depending it and also there are some government employees that are investing here in bitcoin.

The government wants to regulate bitcoin because large investors want it. And big investors need regulation to protect their investments. I believe that this is a normal process. Otherwise, large investors will be afraid to enter this market.

yeah,eaxatly what i see , it is almost impossible to control btc and stupid from the goverments to try to do this since they are just missing out on opportunites.

Also on side note you should google how to put image in forum properly ;)

yes, they have been trying to stop for a long time, but they will see that their efforts will be wasted. Because nothing and no one can stand in front of change and development.

This issue was already tackled so many times. And as long as their is a fake news coming from different ads there is always a bad reviews about bitcoin. Actually there are some country that they totally banned bitcoin because  of malicious or hearsays about the negative side of bitcoin. In my case i just continue what im doing cause i know to my self that bitcoin is not a scam it is legit and i already prove it to myself.

 Every country threatening bitcoin because of their fast and easy transanction without control of the central bank. Government cant verify every transanction because we are using decentralized blockchain system.So many bank investor are try to shift in bitcoin.

I'm sure and optimistic that the government will never be able to try to stop bitcoin in any way, right now I think the government can only provide regulation in the country without being able to provide one step including stopping bitcoin unilaterally.

The government may ban Bitcoin in their country, but they can not ban their people from participating in Bitcoin. In my country, the act of issuing, providing, using illegal means of payment (including Bitcoin and other similar virtual currency) is considered illegal and may be prosecuted. But let's look at how we stay active and more and more people know about Bitcoin. This world is growing by technology and Cryptocurrency is an example.

lol. nice pictures. we need a tool to transfer our money around the world and no way bank can do it better than bitcoin so long live bitcoin

I think there is a reason why goverment always try to stop and give a bad information about bitcoin so people believe that bitcoin is scam or what ever but as my own survey to my friends and other people they know there is a scam but they believe that bitcoin is a real deal..

I agree with you, the government is afraid that bitcoin will master financial transactions where the government cannot intervene because the bitcoin system is peer to peer and anonymous. If the government cannot control the financial system in its country, there can be a financial monopoly that leads to control of state assets.

Governments cannot over power bitcoin by banning.  No matter what they do, there will always be loophole. The reason they are banning it actually affects them in so many way especially a corrupt government. It also depends on how they see bitcoin and how they use it.

Mostly countries same behaviour regarding bitcoin their are alot of reasons involving with it like it's a virtual currency and no look anywhere and also rumours of scams thats why some countries government trying to stop bitcoin.

Most developed countries have already legalised Bitcoin (except China) so we can see a good trend, other countries will probably follow, they can't ignore the future and they are not fools

I think the fact that Bitcoin countries are banned from their country may be because they fear that if Bitcoin becomes a form of payment as their currency, then their currency may be devalued. And they may not yet see the economic impact of their country if Bitcoin is allowed.

That is not new topic! However, It is really impossible for governments to stop bitcoin. Firstly, Bitcoin is decentralized and under uncontrolled by governments. Secondly, Bitcoin is all around the world, all governments can not peer-to- peer stop Bitcoin. Finally, BItcoin can make profits legally so citizens will not accept to eradicate Bitcoin out of their life.

China is not the only country that banned Bitcoin. In fact there are also a lot of countries you don't know that banned Bitcoin especially the countries with internet censorships. China is a developed country, in fact it is one of the greatest country in terms of the market so I don't think you need to belittle China.

Government will not say that they don't accept Bitcoin at anytime but they need some more time to accept cryptocurrencies to the part of their economic my opinion is it will definitely happen soon and government will accept Bitcoin at one time.

Government can only try to stop cryptocurrency but they will not succeed at the end. There is no way to overcome a decentralized system. All they can do is create panic by sponsoring FUD through media. By the time bitcoin reaches mass adoption, nothing will be able to stop it.

The banking overlords hate BTC, so they are doing everything in their power to lock it all up. You cannot kill an idea, you cannot kill something that is decentralized.

The government prohibits the use of bitcoin as a currency, but I think the government can't ban those who adopt bitcoin. even though the government banned bitcoin but bitcoin will still be able to survive and develop due to decentralized bitcoin.

Government have always been on the neck of bitcoin,some but not all actually want to make sure that bitcoin is brought to nothing but this fight will come to nothing because some Government are approving it making it illegal

Affected by the bleak economic future and high unemployment, young people are focusing on digital money despite the risks and warnings from the authorities. So the government will never be able to ban the Bitcoin, they can only make regulations for Bitcoin.

It just takes a matter of time for the government to realize the importance of bitcoin to the world at large.

Create a door, but people do not need to go it. The rules for Crypto will be negatively affected but will not be able to control it. Everything is in incognito mode, and many people can fake personal information to pass KYC, which can not control Crypto by the basics.

The picture is hilarious, but it is the truth, governments are trying to stop cryptocurrencies but it's going to be impossible for them to do it because cryptocurrencies were created in such a way that they can resist such censorship, from the very beginning satoshi saw this and planned for it, and governments are very confused about what to do with them, if they forbid them then they are showing their hand and telling the people that they are not willing to accept competition in the realm of fiat.

But if they do not do it then people are going to keep adopting cryptocurrencies and the problem is going to become larger and larger, and if they try to regulate the market people are just going to ignore the regulations because they do not have to obey them because the government doesn't even know who they are.

How can we be so sure the government is against crypto? Maybe they’re just doing their jobs in ensuring that we stay protected and that order in society can be maintained. We can’t just expect them to give the green light right away. Be glad they’re using their minds and not saying “yes” right away because it’s expected of them. Who knows, maybe we could find harmony one day and that the government and these new technologies can co-exist?

The point is that the government can make any rules for cryptocurrency, but it won't be able to bind as a whole. seeing that crypto currency is decentralized and its users are anonymous, even though the government requires verification policies for users or prohibitions that won't affect anything, you can still use them easily with another door.

Government always try to kill bitcoin but i think even they can ban bitcoin  all over the world, they can never stop the use of bitcoin

It can be said that it will be difficult if you have to stop bitcoin, and I think it takes time and more sophisticated technology. But what kind of technology can stop bitcoin? I guess it's still not found.

No one from any where can stop bitcoin but they will make rigid policies so the people will hesitate crypto and in these days people are hesitating bitcoin because of this while i is seen that we can also make money with this and government want s to check over this. SO people are also worry because if government check this then it will impose some taxes over it.

Actually, it is just the beginning, when all of people in the world already know what bitcoin is? how does it work? and what is the benefit to use it? then we don't need banks anymore. We can do transaction around the world just using one currency, Bitcoin. Look how easy it is?

all possibilities can occur and no one can know for certain in my country cryptocurrency has not been recognized as an official currency that can be used in a real economic system today even banning transactions directly using cryptocurrency

Well, I don't have a government like that. in my country, even though its growth is little by little, I think the government in this country is increasingly supporting the development of cryptocurrency, especially for bitcoin. well, each government views bitcoin differently.

Every governments has the right on what to provide for their people,and if they see a threat to their people then they will stop this from happening

This is a sad part because these governments dont see the positivity about the cryptocurrency and all they saw is the bad side,they dont even see the benefits from the adaption of this great coin

yes you are right there are so many governments from various countries who want to try to stop the circulation of bitcoin and try to break down the price of bitcoin and of course it will be very difficult because the demand for bticoin will be higher and the government will definitely fail to bring down the price of bitcoin.

I'm not sure what the government is doing is right or wrong but I think there must be a reason for the government to do so.

It is true that some governments are protesting against BTC. They are doing so as BTC is independent and no one can control it. Yes it is true that its use may be regulated, but controlling it is totally different thing.

Yes,  other country trying to stop the bitcoin.  Because bitcoin is an individual thing to earn money and also it has no taxes. And government cant control how bitcoin flows.  So the only think that they can do,  is to stop it buy using their position. 

The authorities want to stop the bitcoin, because she wants to control him. This is already an old story. Nothing in them will not work out.

We can say with confidence that bitcoin will take its place in the economy, but now while Fiat time, and so the authorities are trying to extend this time.

i think some country governments trying to stop bitcoin.not all country in the world. because they know bitcoin don't  control possible by government . but we are hoped that bitcoin will be more stronger in future.

I think it's true Buying Drugs with Bitcoin. And for this reason Bitcoin has been banned in our country.
I think it's something bad people do. so it happen  Government trying to stop bitcoin.

This pic is ban on bitcoin, most of the govt have already ban bitcoin but this is not making it unpopular among the common people rather people are heavily buying bitcoin at this price, within one year bitcoin may see the new height and govts may see one anothers months open with surprise, if some technology is giving common people another reason to live why govts are against it and that too when these govts have not done anything exceptional about the common people, what is wrong with bitcoin, ahh pls do not talk me about money laundering, I can only accept it if it did not exist before bitcoin.

There are some countries that don't like the idea of allowing a decentralized cryptocurrencies because they are not yet prepared for it. These countries are mostly in the third world where their economy is not yet stable. Other kind of government that doesn't are socialist type like China and they instead support any coins that are created by them. But not all governments are against bitcoin because some of them have already legalized it.

The government may ban Bitcoin in their country, but they can not ban their people from participating in Bitcoin. In my country, the act of issuing, providing, using illegal means of payment (including Bitcoin and other similar virtual currency) is considered illegal and may be prosecuted. But let's look at how we stay active and more and more people know about Bitcoin. This world is growing by technology and Cryptocurrency is an example. ;)

so what the government thinks is thought to be corruption so the government takes firm action to ban the existence of bitcoin even though bitcoin is nothing with the government as long as it does not harm the government my advice is like that

Not every where but in some countries governments is opposing it and it is not possible that bitcoin will be eliminate from world while in these days price is high so some investors would love to come and join it and if we use crypto for transactions so we can also doing a good business but trade is not for currencies but also goods and services market is also good to use this currency for providing services of experts and now students can also pay in this currency to avail help from various academies.

the government will not be able to stop bitcoin, the government is only able to provide the regulation in their country. so I think the government doesn't have any influence on bitcoin around the world and won't be able to stop.

Bitcoin was created by Satoshi nakamoto to help the transaction process easier and have very safe privacy, through its anonymity, so that no one can stop using bitcoin. If the government wants to stop bitcoin, I doubt that bitcoin is now a world currency that is easy to use for every transaction and if they want to manipulate bitcoin they cannot because bitcoin is not part of their property.

Yes, it is true that some governments are trying to get control of bitcoin! But as SEC is not accepting cryptocurrency then I think the government will not be able to control cryptocurrency! I feel confused by thinking that Maybe bitcoin needs some regulations to stop its volatility! And sometimes I feel its ok to be decentralized.

the government will only try, but cannot stop bitcoin from achieving mass adoption globally, the government understand the fact that the decentralized system doesn't support their dubious schemes, that's why they are doing all they could to frustrate bitcoin but they won't succeed.

from what I saw the government wanted to ban btc, but they still didn't understand what bcc was and how it worked, from what I saw they were just wary of money laundering in btc which was very easy and could be done in it, they judged it without looking at the side negative from btc itself because btc can be used as an investment instrument, even developing countries have started to do so, only a few countries still prohibit and enforce strict regulations on btc in their countries, in my own country there is no prohibition to trade, invest, or use btc as a medium of exchange in cyberspace, my country is all legitimate as long as it is not against the law

It's right. Governments forbids but the psychology of people works in the opposite direction - what is banned, then most of all is interesting. Therefore, there is such a mass interest in bitcoins and it grows every day. The process is running and it will be very difficult to stop. Especially with such strong support that the crypto community show.

Yes, you're right there will be countries who wipl still ban bitcoin even it is a helpful to their economy because they will still belief to their skills, for me, bitcoin is an optional idea that a person or a country to earn money it is not a mandatory that every country should have. Some government of different countries will ban bitcoin because they think that they can grow their countru without the help of digital currency.

Governments are not accepting cryptos because they are not regulated. Once they are I am sure AML BitCoin will be accepted everywhere.

Now the government of many countries is trying to isolate itself from Bitcoin, they are just telling about the possibility of loss when buying crypto.

You can say this is a waiting position.

They have tried it so many times in different countries and people are not willing to stop its trade even in countries where its not legalized. Those people trying to stop its operations are the people who have larger investments in BTC.

why those people who has the most investment in BTC are those who trying to stop the operation? In fact they are the one who is urge to have a good price because they have the huge holdings.

It is likely that governments wanting to stop bitcoin are avoiding inflation cases for their currency. This is not wrong, but Bitcoin can help countries that have not developed a very strong development path. If governments could open up Bitcoin's business in their own country, that economy could move up quickly.

I think you are right for now. My country government bans transactions with crypto currencies directly and legality is very important for the development of cryptocurrencies themselves.

The government to stop bitcoin means the government will kill the future. Bitcoin does have advantages and disadvantages, but if this is stopped, there will be a lot of people who miss technology and financial science that are useful.

even if that happens, it will not reduce people's interest in joining bitcoin, the government should think long before issuing a ban, have they been able to provide something as a substitute? replace as a guarantee from the government for the welfare of the community? not yet, the government should be ashamed to issue the ban, it will be difficult to control and control bitcoin but try to see the positive effects and make it a consideration

if there is a government that prohibits bitcoin, there will be a price reduction in the crypto market. bitcoin will still be there even if there is a government that forbids it but only the market price has a slight price decline and if there is a large purchase then the market price will rise again.

I believe the government would rather just tax crypto at this point instead of outright banning it. The crypto markets have created a lot of new wealth and it will help stimulate the economy.

But have you ever considered the fact that what if government never ever let us do the mass adoption it? It is decentralised currency and it wont be interfered but have you considered that it can be masked with stringent rules and regulations of the government itself? What we will do at that time and how do you think that decentralisation power can come up with some good infrastructure to sever the peer to peer transactions. I understand one thing very well, if you ever want to stat a exchange, lets say peer to peer platform then surely you will need a company or organisation to be set out in the real world and guess what you need to be registered under government. These are the weak links which can be caught by government easily if they ever want you to shut down.

I think because Bitcoin now has no taxes and governments can not make profits from Bitcoin, governments want to stop it. But the adoption procedure is gradual, we might not hurry to conflict with governments. Therefore, in the near future, Bitcoin need to had taxes for governments in order to exist in the cryptocurrency world.

many countries oppose the existence of cryptocurrencies to develop by reason of the government itself and if we look at many developed countries that use cryptocurrencies also cryptocurrencies will be accepted worldwide

Not all government stop bitcoin. Most developing country have some regulation but not that all and they can't stop. BTC is decentralized blockchain and no one can track there info.  Hopefully most of country have some limitation but it will not effect more  :)

Well, its not a surprise after all. We all knew that sone countries banned bitcoin because they think bitcoin is a threat to their economy. They also think bitcoin us the one who supported the crimes and terrorist. So that is why some countries banned bitcoin. Might be they ate trying to beat bitcoin and put it down. The good thing is that there are also countries taht opened minded and they think bitcoin help the community as well as the progress of the economy.

The government trying to stop the bitcoin because they are afraid to become under by the bitcoin. They know that the bitcoin can control then that's why they are against in bitcoin. They want to become safe that is the reason why the government trying to stop bitcoin.

There are a number of governments trying to stop the BTC because they always think the BTC is bad, BTC is the money to support the terrorists, but the BTC has many positive aspects if applied to them. live will be ok

Some of country's might look bitcoin as a big threat to their economy and some might see bitcoin as a coin that being used for terrorism and money laundring cause we all know bitcoin are anonymous. Hard to track and very easy to use worldwide.  But this never can stop bitcoin from growing cause the community still trust on bitcoin.

The government can easily implement a ban on bitcoin in its country, but if it is to stop bitcoin, the government will have difficulties due to decentralized bitcoin. Bitcoin has become a huge community and it will keep bitcoin alive even though so many of them fight bitcoin.

I still don't think the government will be able to stop bitcoin. It develops outside the state framework, and people use it, so it will be very difficult to ban it completely.

One major challenge that bitcoin has always experience is the regulatory challenge, and because of its decentralized nature, the government has been trying every means to put a stop to its usage. Even if there were to be a mass adoption by individuals, it still would not be able to frustrate the Government's effort, because in a country, the governments are still dictators on what happens.

Government did not start this recently but from the beginning government sectors are against bitcoin as most investors choose crypto currency but not the banking system as the profits are higher comparing to bankers low interest so it is expected sign for all the crypto users in the economy.

yes, I think when finally bitcoin has reached mass adoption. I don't think that will cause problems for the country itself. I think adoption can benefit the government, because the government can take taxes from a transaction. and I think if bitcoin has reached mass adoption, then the existence of banks will be increasingly disturbed, because in my opinion people would prefer to transact using cryptocurrency. because bitcoin is peer to peer and more efficient, unlike banks.

I think it's very difficult if the government wants to stop bitcoin or other crypto, because we know that crypto is decentralized, but I still believe that crypto will always develop in the future.

Difficult? It is close to impossible. Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency and it will stay decentralized since the government will never be able to control or take over it.

Also, the fact that some of the government are not noticing the improvement of Bitcoin through time since it is alive for some years now and thry are not making any movements about it. They are not stopping it because if they do, Bitcoin is long banned now in a lot of countries and not being legalized by them.

Most governments still haven't decide what they are going to do with bitcoin according to my understanding because if they have already we could see more actions but still majority has no idea how to deal with this new concept. Today when some governments ban and trying to restrict bitcoin few keep an open mind and allow there citizens to use bitcoin so there are both negative and positive and I think until bitcoin won't become a major threat to countries and there economical systems most of them will allow bitcoin to continue without any barriers

yes you are right, but it is very difficult to convince the government to legalize crypto because they fear there will be a lot of fraud and crime. the government prefers fiat currency because it is made in the original state, real and legitimate as a means of payment and transactions every day.

Most of Governments are against Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. They are trying to stop or ban Bitcoin trade or transactions. This is not a matter but i think it can leads to us the backword or 100 years ago by refusing such advanced technologies.

The government cannot stop a technology that will grow every year so Bitcoin will be stronger and cannot be stopped by anyone and at any time until people don't use it anymore.

The government doesn't have the power to try and stop it and trying to fail will not make any success. Blockchain technology is very stronger anyone can't destroyed it. Because it is controlled by automated programming system.

Sure they would try! bc they can not give tax and many other legal fees from bitcoin and other cryptos

Well government can't completely stop bitcoin, or try to ban it. Since bitcoin existed in internet so trying to ban bitcoin needs to do lots of work, because many people are smart enough to trick their internet although the government ban, block the access, or whatever it is.
I think they're doing something unnecessary but well what can we do? Maybe once bitcoin is being used universally, like cash, then they might change their decision and there will be no country that ban bitcoin again.

I think the government is trying to stop bitcoin because it is completely illegal and uncontrolled. From here we can say that by solving these problems, you can expand the possibilities of bitcoin and implement in all sectors of our lives.

It is impossible for the government to be able to stop Bitcoin, the government work is still a lot of things to do outside, they have to take care of their work as a government.
Bitcoin can't be stopped, because all countries have used Bitcoin trips, I think their government has a ridiculous idea?

Although bitcoin is a decentralised currency but a government can control it trading, marketing in their own country and also put pressure other country to ban it. Many government ban bitcoin in their country because bitcoin affects their national bank profits and progress. And bitcoin also affects their national currency value at international market and these above thing ultimately affects their country economy. Another reason because of which many government try to stop it in their country is its volatile nature. This thing seriously affect their country share market price.

I think that the statement that the governments of most countries are against Bitcoin is a very big exaggeration. In fact, every year Bitcoin gains more and more rights and advantages as compared to fiat money.

Actually its opposite , they are not trying to BAN or stop it . See EURO parlament is trying to figure out how they can charge taxes on crypto and how to do it easly . Maybe there are few countries that trying to BAN , but its only few of them . This year there is alot of good news from Regulations and SEC's . Its kinda good that they tying to control because in my opinion there will be less SCAM ICO's and projects who dont follow sec rules will just die :)

Because if they wants to stop a fiat currency or a social media site they can just take down there system through politics or lows but for bitcoin the core network is not centralized to any organization or a group of people so they can make bitcoin

I REALLY DONT KNOW WHY BUT I REALLY LIKE BITCOIN

Actually it is practically impossible, they need to turn off net in the whole world to do that, who will believe that they can/will do it?

As we all know, one of the basic goals behind Bitcoin is to bring a decentralization system and bring power to the community so it's very normal to see such behavior from governments all over the world, we, as a loyal and vibrant crypto community we have to ignore such act and respond with knowledge and raise the awareness about this new innovating technology because many peoples are getting tricked and affected by the FUD spreading everywhere.

Maybe you're right mass adoption's the main requirement, for bitcoin to be able to break the ban imposed by the government especially to get its legitimacy rights. Even so we must remember that bitcoin's not a substitute currency, cash will always be there its broad use's unmatched. Maybe bitcoin will be used as a parallel currency with fiat currencies. In this way, bitcoin users can take advantage of the advantages of each currency, depending on their needs.

Goverment can stop bitcoin because as we all know there are many people patronizing bitcoin it has a lot benifits to thier lives they can even to earn for thier families
 It could be less people eho dont have jobit has a good impact in a single person to give a time to reach thier dreams.

If it does not disturb the economic stability and security of the country, I think it is inappropriate if the government tries to ban the use of bitcoin. We also have to understand some of the weaknesses of bitcoin that are vulnerable to criminal acts such as money laundering and so on, instead I see the government does not want to ban or stop bitcoin, but the government tries to protect bitcoin through government rules from every country so that bitcoin is safer and Bitcoin users get protection against their rights when they have bitcoin and when crime occurs such as bitcoin theft. If the government can cooperate in protecting the existence of bitcoin and protect the rights of every bitcoin owner, then bitcoin is perfect with the aim of creating prosperity and helping in the country's economic growth.

Government=Centralised
Bitcoins= Decentralised

Government can never support decentralised currency which is completely opposite than the centralised currency. Yes also government is trying to stop bitcoins from moving forward and also i think that i  future the situation may be different and government can accept bitcoins.

Only a dictatorial state government will stop bitcoin development, but in fact bitcoin can't be stopped. You can see that a big Asian country has hit the bitcoin hardest, but the actual bitcoin is very developed in this country. Because the people of this country have no confidence in their goods.

Its true, as long bitcoin using decentralized system, no one government regulation can touch it. Government afraid bitcoin because threating their national currency. But government can not stop bitcoin because its decentralized.

Yeah, i also realize that some country's government is trying to stop Bitcoin. Because many people do criminal acts through bitcoin, which the government does not like. But I think one day this criminal work will be reduced and government will use Bitcoin and crypto technology.

Governments have been attacking Bitcoin with the intention to create FUD in the people in order to stop its patronage yet Bitcoin is surviving. The governments are afraid of decentralization which do not allow them to have full autonomy over the transactions of Bitcoin.

So far, the government is only analyzing how cryptocurrency can help fill the country's budget.

Over time, manipulations with the crypto market will decrease, and then the turning point will come.

Even what they do bitcoin they did not manipulate it so they want to ban some government because they did not get big taxes because the issue on that is always money. But they some government who supported bitcoin and i hope they continue to do that so we can get more investor.

I can't give any type of the statement regarding the point of view of the governments in Thier own country except in my country .
Because as here I am living and active in daily hearing results and descion of the supreme court where the matter of cryptocurrency is going on .
But here a big thing that we can see that , government didn't said that they will ban bitcoin or cryptocurrency , the main problem is of the Reserve Bank of India , who don't want any bank works with the any type of cryptocurrency exchange and that why they restricted the banks to not to work with cryptocurrency exchange .
As we can understand that the point of the cryptocurrency lover is also strong , and also of the RBI , that why this case is going to expand day by day .
And I don't think any big restrictions will be apply over the cryptocurrency use , Because as a example we can see in China , where people can use cryptocurrency p2p instead to go with the any exchange that can give direct service of buy and sell with banks .
So I don't think that government will get any type of the success to make cryptocurrency ban in perfect way , they only can make rules and regulations and impose restrictions .

Yes government is trying to stop bitcoin because they want their own control. Bitcoin till now is the best investment asset. It is having big success these days. And government is insecure of this thing. Many people are heading towards bitcoin and neglecting other things. Government wants to have its own monopoly all over and bitcoin is the obstacle so government is stoping bitcoin.

it has happened, there are many who want to try but the fact is that bitcoin cannot be controlled by anyone. That's why China has banned it until now.
I think bitcoin will be adopted by all countries if the blockchain system has been implemented in banking. yes, chances are there are many countries that create crypto itself

Sad to say but the government cannot stop bitcoin from growing even if they use all their power to suppress it. The best approach that the government can do is to somehow regulate it. I believe we all need a balance from decentralization to centralized government.

Government makes the ordinary men poor by taking what needs to be theirs. Bitcoin has been on our planet for long but government seem not interested in this idea and the sad part of this story is that they try to stop this but banning cryptos but I think the way we are united can help us fight this selfish and greedy act of the government

Government trying to stop bitcoin , maybe their reason is to protect their countrymen because some of the users of bitcoin use  it for illegal transactions. Or maybe  they want to control it by their own. But until now one stop it unless they get banning of it on their country.

Ahah, good joke, I agree that because of technology blockchain they can't do anything. Progress is much bigger rather than the power of government.

There are several countries where the government considers bitcoin will be able to harm them, so they try to stop bitcoin by issuing a rule on the prohibition of using bitcoin. But actually what I see is just the opposite, where bitcoin can help the government to support the economy in a government. Whatever the reason the government is trying to stop bitcoin, hopefully they can see in full how the existence of bitcoin actually can finally return to accept bitcoin and can legalize the use of bitcoin in their country.

I think that the regulators are no longer trying to stop Bitcoin. They are trying to control it. Many investors are waiting for the adoption of a law on cryptocurrency on this without regulators it will not be possible to solve it.

Yeah, because bitcoin is decentralized, there won't be anyone who can stop bitcoin from our world.
Peoples already using bitcoin as a currency, therefore the value of bitcoin is already high. As long we agree to use bitcoin as a peer to peer currency, we can use it with no one can strict.

If you look at it in terms of the bitcoin function, I guess it's only reasonable for the government to decided ban bitcoin from being used in its country. Payment systems and anonymity are the first factors for them to decide to ban bitcoin. If many people use bitcoin as the first choice that is used as a payment system, certainly they will restless about the condition of their money fiat. Everyone will use bitcoin and their money will not work so as to cause some economic problems in their country popping up. So for those who decide banned bitcoin then that is one of the best ways they have to choose.

Of course the government wants to close bitcoin around the world because it can threaten real currencies in the real world and it is regrettable if bitcion will be closed it must be very difficult to find side money.

Besides that, the government will try to find a way to control bitcoin/cryptocurrency by making any regulations so they can take the benefits too like their citizen. But I don't think bitcoin will stop in that way because as long as we have a connection to use bitcoin, then bitcoin cannot be controlled by anyone even the government, they can only watch and see how bitcoin transacted and they don't know who is the owner of the wallet. We all agree to use bitcoin as a peer to peer currency, and so far, we don't have any problem except sometimes we got a lack of the confirming which is normal.

Goverment always looking way how to banned bitcoin transaction at their country, why not giving space for bitcoin transaction helped of economic country, so far many country have legal for bitcoin transaction have take much profitable with bitcoin system.

that was so funny, buddy. Indeed, the government can only slightly affect the Crypto market. The transactions are still done normally and the prohibition is useless. Even facebook has banned the ICO ads, but now there are quite a lot of projects being promoted in facebook. Crypto has a very great power.

Despite of having numerous of advantages the major disadvantage of bitcoin is that it is still decentralised crypto currency and thus there is no such proper authentic regulating body over the bitcoin who could keep eye over all its activities and specifically the illegal one and thus use in selling drugs, explosives, money laundering and other illegal activities too and because of this thing most of the countries are in against of bitcoin as they does not want to bring any kind of illegal activities including terrorism in their nation but once they understand the potential of bitcoin, they will surely legalise it as this is the only way to stop illegal activities with bitcoin.

From the very beginning government agaist bitcoin as currency
Because they believe bitcoin is cause of destroying the economic
But not bitcoin is helping to grow the economy and gives opportunity to the people
Look at now they're more countries continue to adopt bitcoin as currency
And one of the reason why bitcoin drop the price beacuse of the government against virtual currency

Because they cannot control it and will be hard for them to trace it, so this is the main reasons why government is doing everything to stop bitcoin and they want it to lose values.

I think if governments were trying to stop Bitcoini trying to stop a big event I think it would be a big event because people have a huge amount of Bitcoin in their hands so people can protest so I think governments do not handle.

If majority of Governments try to stop bitcoin from continuing in this world large amount of people will be disappointed with them and that is the main reason that I think government won't such extreme decisions because the damaged party is much bigger and the amount of money that has invested on bitcoin is uncountable but they might take certain actions like they do now to limit the usage of bitcoin through media, site restricting and various other ways

This is impossible to stop . Bitcoin and Altcoin are revolution in the global world today.one thing l believe strongly is that CHANGE is the only thing that is constant and that fact cannot be denied by any government . they will find way out to adopt despite their personal interest of the Bitcoin. the era of using paper money must defintely fade way with respect to time  according to the laws of nature that nothing last forever. "Bitcoin is here to stay" according to warren buffet

It is possible that the government gets a warning from the bank regarding the existence of bitcoin, that they know bitcoin will tackle the development of banks around the world, so there is a possibility their reasons are disturbed by the current existence of bitcoin, and one of them that can stop is the government in each country, but they don't know that there are so many supporters of bitcoin around the world, and even bitcoin will turn this world into a world of technology ...

Yes, it’s true that majority of the governments trying to stop bitcoin. Because the government always against anything they will not have some benefits from. Bitcoin is not part of government property so that no one can stop bitcoin. I think the government will understand that cryptos can't be stopped technically. And I think also in the future governments will use Bitcoin.

i am agree mojority of govt are trying to stop bitcoin but as well as you can see there are some tech and economic giant country are supporting bitcoin and govt cant stop bitcoin bcz its a decentralized system.

The government of course tries to limit and control the cryptocurrency, but let's be realistic, they will not be able to block the Internet

There are already governments who have placed ban on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in their countries. Some are doing it out of ignorance about bitcoin while some are for no reason.

There is no doubt that the government will seek to regulate this space quite strongly in the future. Concerns about money laundering are paramount. Basically governments want to know as much as possible about cash flow ' to keep us safe. They will use this panic tactic to push legislation that pushes BTC underground. It's hard to see how a BTC-type product ever becomes a mainstream, especially given how unattractive it is as a method of transaction (expensive and slow)

well i should agree with this, many goverment are dislike bitcoin and trying to stop it, neither they still doubt about bitcoin security or just their personal matter, but that we know if bitcoin are flow because community people and not because a large group companies, and bitcoin still have a heart for the people itself

They need to do that in order to have some control, it's how governments rule, they control people, they control opposition. This picture in opening comment is great example what can governments do about crypto, almost nothing. They are thinking how to control all this but I believe they can't so much at the moment. With crypto it's all about what you do and how you do, if you wish to stay hidden and anonymous you can do that, you can stay free, but if you register your wallet address and you do couple kyc's than you will need to pay taxes.
Governments can't stop crypto, some countries already joined, others should follow their example.

Indeed government regulations are very difficult in the opponent so that when they begin to ban the existence of bitcoin, it is likely that people are afraid to invest and directly sell assets as soon as possible before all is lost.

Cryptominers and deep web divers would laugh at the fact that a weak government would try to block out bitcoins from the blockchain and they're planning to bring down blockchain like there is a way. I don't think there will ever be a future where the government wins.

No government can stop it. Many states are already accepting bitcoin or are starting to do it. The absence of a law will worsen the situation. The governments of the countries then do not recognize any information about transactions at all.

In my opinion there is a temporary fall of Bitcoin. It ll rise again in mid December 2018.

Right mate! That's why you should go with Privacy and anonymous coin and take care of hiding yourself online. Choose Privcy to protect yourself

With the recent slump of bitcoin's market cap and price, different negative thoughts will come in to our minds like government trying to take down bitcoin for good. But let's not forget that it's not the government that controls bitcoin and crypto. It's the people (their demands) are the one that's making the existence of bitcoin looks so untouchable and immortal.

It's a nice idea but governments can never fully utilize cryptocurrency the way they want too and the reason is because it is decentralized, which is a bad word to government officials. They want to control...And, crypto cannot be controlled. This is why there is so much resistance from world governments concerning crypto.

It is important for each country's leadership to understand the essence of the ongoing economic processes in its state and in the world.

The government blocked bitcoin for fear it would be used for terrorist purposes, laundering money. But as bitcoin grows and gets more popular, I think the government will change the negative thinking about it.

In our day now, it is undeniable that any government wants to block or refuse to enter the bitcoin in their jurisdiction. One of these things is that they do not have the ability to handle or control what they want. Because Bitcoin as we all know it is a peer to peer currency that is a decentralization system that is why they do not like it and they don't get any benefits from it. But they know that it really can greatly help the economy of every country to receive it.

I'm not sure if the government wants to stop Bitcoin. Just the appearance of bitoin definitely makes adjustments to the country's economy, since transactions are not tracked and there is no tax charge. And so I think specifically the government does not do this.

Everything has a reason to do or don't so similar apply for the government too. No matter, from which country's government. Do you actually know the revenue of government for the causes that are nontransparent? If they get the tax from its users where the money goes and how much they spend and where is the remaining! Bitcoin is transparent everything on the blockchain. It may be a problem for the government, but is good for the good governance. The ratio of good vs bad is very unstable. The next generation world will have better technology, you might say that it should start from now....

I think if a country does not recognize bitcoin and wants to stop bitcoin, I do not recognize that they are only afraid of being used in crime without thinking of positive things. but the government will recognize bitcoin

What I know is that only few governments are against bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and most of them wants to allow it only after they impose regulation on crypto exchanges. Those coutntries that banned the bitcoin are either not yet prepared to deal with it or have their own national cryptocurrency in the making. Tax will be inevitable if the government in some countries decides to legalize bitcoin.

It's good to here that there are some countries which accepted bitcoin as a payment and maybe in the future as what you have said it will contribute more and the mass adoption will get bigger.

obviously the government will take interest and take control in bitcoin and if they don't they will ban bitcoin or do a media play and pertain bitcoin as a scam and a waste of time. but we shouldn't be gullible because we know how the bitcoin system works

P.S. Let's also not generalize not everyone in the government is the same. maybe some has stone hearts but I believe that there are still people in the government who has a golden hearts.

I do not think that the concepts of classical trading with all these waves are applicable to bitcoin, and by the end of January it can be very far from 1000 because of all this Dzhigurda in China.

Government wants only what is good for the people. I don't think it will stop bitcoin if they can see the benefits of it to the people. Maybe in the near future when bitcoin is not that volatile the government will use it.

This is the biggest question to asked to cryptocurrency market. The Goverments?? I really don't understand what the goverments wants to do. They really don't know what to do i believe. Some countries don't allowed The bitcoin and the cryptocurrency in their countries, some allowed, some taking taxes and some searching for taxing solutions. I believe that no one can say something exact about this matter. All i can say that we wait and see, but we need to take ourselves in secure as well..

I think that it is completely impossible for governments to stop BTC because it is technically impossible for todays society - we depend of the web enormously and it can't be blocked.

Government are trying to stop bitcoin , especially if it is operating in their country ,it is because they might want the cryptocurrency holders to pay taxes to the government and they want to regulate the movement if this cryptocurrecy operate in their country.

Most of Governments are against Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. They are trying to stop or ban Bitcoin trade or transactions. This is not a matter but i think it can leads to us the backword or 100 years ago by refusing such advanced technologies

Why stop bitcoin if government can simply take control over btc and crypto market. They do it now ! Already are bitcoin futures. ETF Im think already close.Then governments will adopt laws by which all crypto exchanges will be forced to identify all their users if they want to trade and withdraw money

LOL, the picture really illustrates how the government attempts to ban crypto, but crypto lovers still use it. after people knew the advantages of crypto, I'm sure that they will not be able to abandon the use of crypto, they will love it very much

Haha, well, looks like Bitcoin always find the way. No matter what rules some government make agains it, Bitcoin can not be destroyed. That was the original purpose, and is well done.

I think bitcoin is eating the world of crypto currency and the real currency that we use severely, Government can't stop these continuous increasing of users and though the value today is not that higher as what it is to the past years but in right advertisement and good flow of the system this bitcoin will become a huge factor on the market.

Bitcoin have lot of advantages. Most of the bank very concerned about Bitcoin. so Government  alwase try to stop Bitcoin. but I I think it not possible. man still using crypto currency. they buy Bitcoin and hold it. Bitcoin gives enough opportunities to trade. so I think , it is impossible to die Bitcoin.

Will not all government trying to stop bitcoin. There are some country government still accepting and reviewing the blockchain technology. Just in my country philippines our philippines central bank has already reviewing the blockchain but i dont know whats the result and hope it will be legalize soon

absolutely right because there are other countries that want to accept bitcoin and other crypto, so it seems that bitcoin will not be stopped by all countries in the world.
yes hopefully bitcoin can be accepted by the fillipina government

Public authorities it is difficult to stop him, because he has no single center to which you can push. Therefore, they take all possible measures to control

the government tries to stop bitcoin is something that will not happen, now bitcoin can develop to the best position and has a high price that is not based on government support. but only support from many people, so I don't think that will happen

It's not the first time to do so, I think this type of step has taken before from many countries. But I think Bitcoin will not be a stoppable platform for the future purpose. This is not a scam or a general thing, It's meant a lot.

What's about China with controlled by chinese mining pools 74 percent of Bitcoin’s hash power?  In theory they can directly influence on the Bitcoin network if they will unite or chinese government will take their farms by force.

We must not  allow politicians or governments to interfere in the world of crypto. Governments always wants to have control over everything that is happening in their respective countries. I believe most people don't understand how crypto currencies work. The authorities are  really sacred about crypto but they wish they could do something about how decentralized blockchain technology is.

Exactly. You are seeing it right. The government and central banks are already after bitcoin from a long time ago, but it's hard for them to control it. If they puts a ban on bitcoin it may be illegal but it can't be stopped totally. Though illegal transaction like money laundering has already increased and government has a big point of this to put a ban. But they should know that everything has a positive along with a negative effect. Banks have many negative sides also, but they are making profits that's the reason it's legal to them, and bitcoin is decreasing their profits :D . But bitcoin can't be stopped.

yes government and local bank trying to stop bitcoin.In our country and central bank banned bitcoin and arrested few bitcoin resellers which is very bad for me.Hope they will accept soon :(

I don't understand how will anybody even dream of stopping a Decentralized P2P currency as Bitcoin, I think Government is just stalling before ligalize it nationwide in the USA.

Yeah all we can do is not being intimidated with those regulations that being released by those government as we can continue to use bitcoin without them. Somehow in the future they will brace with this technology as our future currency.

Bitcoin is unstoppable, every new technology require an awarness and acceptance period, Bitcoin is in the phase, as it is still an evolving technology,  we have to keep the hope on, trust in the system, no need to panic or lose faith in the community.

Every country and government has it all power just to stop bitcoin if they think that it cannot benefit to all. If they see that people is having a right way of having bitcoin then I don't see anything why should government stop bitcoin.

They can do anything to stop blockchain. Every attempt they make will just help to reach massive awareness  ;D

Yes, There are some government believe that BTC will use badly and their inhabitants will fall in problem. They also think that they could not control BTC transaction correctly and as a result they will fail to caught who using it incorrectly. But i think day is not so far that when every government accept it without any hesitation when they use blockchain technology as BTC using this.

Bitcoin is dangerous because it is difficult to control, although at the heart of the cryptographic world lies a certain goal: the ability of the cryptocurrency to reform the financial system, increasing transparency and eliminating the urgent need for trust in counterparties. When there is no reason to doubt, there is no chance of becoming a victim of deception or fraud.Cryptocurrency takes power from centralized systems and transfers it into the hands of legitimate owners — ordinary people. That is why the state will always be against cryptocurrency, because if you can not control the money, you can not control people.

the government will not be able to stop bitcoin, unless it stops at their own country because bitcoin is transparent, there are already several countries that support bitcoin and bitcoin already have many users. if the government wants to stop bitcoin, it will be difficult. actually why does the government want to stop bitcoin ?

There were some countries prohibited the use of bitcoin, but they couldn't stop their people of investing with it through discreet transactions. For me they couldn't stop this activity unless it became a legal currency to regulated. The decentralized character remains untouchable and has its own freedom to roams around blockchain technology network and provide profitable needs towards the people around it.

I agree, bitcoin was decentrlized cryptocurrency which no one controls it. Maybe government can stop people in their countrybusing bitcoin but they can not directly stop bitcoin only the user of it. In fact it already help so many people but sadly because some government still agains on it.

Yeah government is trying it possible best to stop Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large but day in day out the crypto crypto world is growing. Most at times hide behind terrorist and fudsters to tarnish the image of BTC forgetting that these things seems to exist way before the existence of cryptocurrency. They are just scared crypto might rule the world one day.

I agree. There are countries that ready to adapt the new currency because they see the potential, benefit, and how their people earn from it. This country also develop own exchange and involve on other currencies. It is easier to transfer everywhere and even can invest for the good profit. Just like business, crypto is evolving and widely it is known.

Bitcoin can't be stopped by the state. They make great efforts, but this is impossible. A bitcoin system is provided for ananomic use.
