There are some governments in this world who have ban btc at their own country but couldn’t stop that totally because people can know more about bitcoin day by day and they are involving with it and most of them can able to get benefits and profits from it.

It handles by online and if all-powerful government stop it then they will come in the market with a different name what blue whales authority have done. If people doesn’t show their emotion with it only then it could be stopped but it will happen at never and government doesn’t have anything to do if people like and wants it seriously but they have the power to stop it of course but I think it will not be happened.

I don't mind that powerful government or powerless government who ever want to ban bitcoin let them ban the fact and the truth is you cannot escape from the growth of bitcoin and the growth of bitcoin is now un stoppable so it is almost impossible to any country to stop bitcoin from accepting it. Till internet is there no will and can ban bitcoin.

Banning would be possible but talking or pertaining on a complete ban isnt really possible which we do know making underground transactions can really be done even no matter how government would prohibited such usage of bitcoin. It can block up the adoption on their vicinity but shutting out completely is not possible as long theres a strong community support there would really be still tx do exist on the network which would really make bitcoin wont easily die.

This is something which I've beleived for awhile, which is the prospect that if big governments and banks worked heavily together they'd be able to remove Bitcoin from the face of the earth. They wouldn't ban it, as that would be a tough thing to swallow for the American people as they wouldn't see a good reason to do that ( at least in my mind here) But they could just go ahead and regulate Bitcoin into oblivion, making it hard for Bitcoin businesses (buying and selling, trading, etc) to operate within their countries, or be subject to insane taxes, KYC AML and such.

Do you think Governments could kill Bitcoin?
No one can easilg demolish bitcoin. Because bitcoin is decentralized and no one knows who are the mastermind or the real managaer of this whole digital money. Maybe the only thing that government can do in this kind of matter is giving some tax to those bounty hunters and holders.

Government can do anything at their own country but that think must be visible. There are some governments who banned BTC at their country but if people want then it is very hard to stop. Now a days almost 99% of online program processes by blind way.

If people want to refuse it only then it can be stopped but it is growing more popular by the people day after day so it is very tough for any government. But government of course can harder the way to do work with that. If you want to do anything then no one can stop you perfectly, they can just make that way harder.

For me I think they could not stop Bitcoin. Right from the start Bitcoin is aware that government will stop them because they have no big benefit of Bitcoin. For me Bitcoin is created for anti-corrupt system.

I think, depending on the leader in a country, they have reasons why other country banned bitcoin. Especially governments are not able to tract payments in bitcoin because it become very much difficult for governments to audit transactions and perform their obligations. And the other reasons is to prevent tax frauds and funding illegal activities.

the government could stop bitcoin with their power because I am sure that they have hidden power that we don't know and they will use it if they want to stop bitcoin and take over bitcoin. but I don't think that the government wants to do this because right now, I think they realize that bitcoin could give some benefits to them and they will still analyze about bitcoin and if somehow they can find a point that they can enter to bitcoin zone, then they will do this as soon as they can and they will try to control bitcoin although this is impossible to do but who knows.

If the governments could not benefit from bitcoin, then I think they will do everything to ban bitcoin. Governments always wanted percentage from all "business related estanlishments" and money generating products. Bitcoin is not exempted to that because it is always related to money. If Government cannot ban bitcoin, then atleast they could regulate or control it in all ways they wanted.

Wel there are people who will do everything and go through extremes to have access to bitcoins even if governments illegalize it. If it's just like today where there are governments who are against and there are governments who support btc, btc can't be stopped. I think the only way here is when every government consolidates their efforts to ban btc. Then we'll have a really big problem

You may have seen the recent market!

The government of India, the government of South Korea and the Chinese government's policy on BTC has almost destroyed the BTC!

If the government really wants to kill BTC, I think it's easy!

Is it possible that the digital encryption currency will change some of the need for government?

That is the only way that bitcoin can get lose in the track is when the government ban bitcoin and for sure the governments is thinking about that as of now because they are seeing huge transfers and migrators from stock market into bitcoin or cryptocurrencies because there is a better chance of profit here compare to the other investment.

Yes it is possible but I don't think they are going to do it. With the fast growing Bitcoin community and the thousands of people that experience the changes brought by Bitcoin, even the government themselves know and saw the potential and the big help it can do to people's lives. They may regulate it, at least try to have a bit of control over it but not totally killing it. it's like killing the goose that lays golden eggs.

But we dont have a one world government. Every nation has his own government and own principles. One or more country can destroy bitcoin in their own country but that will only be in their country and not the whole world. The world is so big and it is impossible for bitcoin to be distroyed worldwide since the whole world is not controlled by only one government.

Definitely, as we all know that the government can create in their own law and yes it's possible ti kill bitcoin in their particular country. Also, we need money which means even if government trying to stop us we find a waysm ti work in crypto community. As od this moment, many are trying to be part on this forum wishing that they can earn but due to their short patience they can't succeed.

Bitcoin existence has gone far and no government can single handedly stop bitcoin except we the bitcoin community. And one other way in which bitcoin can be stop is for the government to stop the use of Internet which I believe is not possible.

As much as the community likes or wants to believe we're protected from government censorship, it simply isn't true. They could shut down all practical use of BTC if they wanted to.

history already saw cases when the government blocked its state from the outside world. They made an iron curtain, this is China and Cuba and the USSR. Does something prevent someone from expressing his state from Bitcoin?
