Government will only deny bitcoin if they do not find a way to tax it properly.

Which they won't, unless it becomes centralized.

Guys, I do not understand this thing and I keep on reading it here over and over again. So many people celebrating the fact that the State cannot tax bitcoins and shouting proudly "They cannot tax it, it's anonymous!!"

.. Let's imagine for a second that all the different currencies disappear and there is only BTC..

If a Government is not able to tax your earnings (which will be in BTC, remember, it's the only currency you have), how is anything going to work? Who's paying for any public service, for your roads, water, trash, schools, etc.?

If by any means anyone want BTC to succeed and become mainstream, it MUST be taxed as any other currency.
Which could be difficult or not, but that's another topic...

If it were to be taxed just like any other currency, then it would be just another currency. It would loose it's purpose entirely.

The government may not like BTC, but what can they do against all it's users worldwide? How can one take over control? IT'S DECENTRALIZED!
Rather than the government, people should be worrying about the mining hardware race that's going on. That's something that could really end BTC for good.
But even in that case, not everything would be lost, we would still have litecoins (until they develop some ASIC for scrypt).

DECENTRALIZATION is what makes BTC what it is. Once we have fewer and fewer users in control of it, it's fundaments will have gone forgoten, and so it will become another history's footnote.

Queria deixar um comentário aqui: todas as pessoas do mundo que anunciam que cobrem ofertas, se referem a fazer ofertas mais vantajosas para o comprador do que as já existentes. Você é o único cara que eu vi que acha que cobrir ofertas é cobrar mais caro.

I have to be honest, I just posted this here to make my way out of newbie status. I wasn't expecting any kind of answers, but then I got all those very kind answers.
That makes me think it was a good decision to join the forum.

Thank you guys once again for making this forum what it is.

Thank you all for providing such valuable information.
