Why are people afraid of this? It's obvious that the US government and well any other government does not take action/s from which they won't profit/which will result in a loss.
Doing this would be pretty stupid and pointless.
Governments always do things that result in a loss. There is probably no government that is not in massive debt.Doing this would be pretty stupid and pointless.
I doubt they'd go to this length. It's probably not the governments that are worried or you need to worry about but the banks instead.
Bitcoin is not taxable. People can hide lots of wealth in bitcoin and any other crypto for that matter. Governments do not like that idea.
