Adapting bitkoyin means introducing legislative rules for its circulation in the country and simultaneous taxation of income from this type of activity.
    Now let's see whether the digital currency that is not managed by the state is a blessing for the state, it is difficult to regulate and at the same time it costs thousands of times more than the own currency of this state. In this case, such a currency (and in fact it is the same money of the state, only converted to digital),
 can go beyond the state without control. Moreover, state bodies plan the financial life of the country, and here in one morning the value of such a currency can double, after a while become ten times more expensive, and then fall in half. How the state can plan pricing and generally financial issues in the country. if in its territory such a digital currency will go?

The reason why government is so affraid about bitcoin because they affraid that bitcoin was be able to destroy and affect an economy because bitcoin was too much expensive and its currency was too high than other currencies . So thier is possibilities  that it can overcome every country currency so that when government used bitcoin as a currency and its price was high and become low. It may affect and promotes economy flow down and currupt. That was the reason why goverment affraid bitcoin.

There are 2 reasons that come to mind.

1) Bitcoin is not traceable. With that, people could be using it as currency for doing whatever the government deems to be illegal. Using bitcoin makes it hard for the government to get a lead on who is involved in illegal activity. Again, while this may seem like a benefit, it can be used by terrorists, hitmen, etc.

2) It's hard to tax. Governments want to get the most out of the citizens as possible for federal funds. Using bitcoin could mean that it's harder to collect that money.

This area is up for grabs! PM me if you're interested.

Governments aren't trying to ban Bitcoin, they are only trying to stop people from making fiat easily.

Because bitcoin does not bring benefits to the government. And bitcoin and other encrypted currencies can't be regulated. The government has no control over it. In addition, the impact of bitcoin on the banking industry is huge, and it has not yet been shown.

If bitcoin in circulation worldwide, it will greatly weaken the currency authority, the government is not willing to see. The government needs to fiat money, needs inflation, otherwise the government would not vote.

We proclaim Bitcoin to be a decentralised currency backed by a technology called blockchain. As soon as governments hear the word 'decentralised', it starts ringing bells. The world has a lot of space for unchecked corruption and money laundering and a digital, decentralised currency like Bitcoin would be the dream scenario to further fuel these sort of activities. When there is no central authority looking over transactions, the money is impossible to track making it a haven for the misusers.

1) Firstly, because it's hard to tax and bitcoin does not bring benefits to the government 

2) Secondly, bitcoin is not traceable,   it is difficult to regulate, can go beyond the state without control.
I think the goverment should find a way to adapt it and shouldn't afraid of bitcoin

There are many reasons why states fear bitcoin.
    First, cash flows in bitcoin can not be controlled. That is, bitcoin does not recognize territorial borders and the funds can leave the state uncontrollably, which will very badly affect the country's economy.
    Secondly, the anonymity of bitcoin creates obstacles to taxation of this type of activity and creates extensive opportunities for its use for illegal purposes.
     Third, volatility and large volatility of bitcoin also have a negative impact on the economies of countries.
     Fourthly, the high cost of bitcoin in comparison with national currencies is also a threat to the stability of the existence of the national currency.
      Fifth, the last increase in the price of bitcoin to $ 20,000 clearly showed that bitcoin is growing only due to the speculative speculative demand for it, that is, it is inflated as a financial bubble, which means that if it bursts, it will also negatively affect the country's economy.

Bitcoin is a digital decentralized cryptocurrency which is not controlled by any central body the government has no power in controlling bitcoin like other currencies.Bitcoin transaction is done without much time and fees over the world and the transaction is done peer-to-peer and no middle man has a role in bitcoin transaction.So these may be the reason for the government to be afraid of bitcoin.There is no way for the government to check how many bitcoins are in the hands of the laymen so they cannot impose any taxes over bitcoin holders.

The government should and even other people who are using bitcoin should make a note of this points before using the bitcoin. There are chances of getting hacked by the virus which was made viral by the hackers so that they can steal the database. Ransomware cyber attack is a great example of this point.Similarly, the corruption between the Politicians and the Citizens of the country will get increased to a new extent where the government can't control the situations etc. Like this, there are many ways for the government to get afraid.

They are afraid of it because it can replace the banks that we are using meaning it can affect the economy. Why? Because they're not the ones who are handling or controlling the bitcoin but rather anonymous persons and it has no tax.

Just another newbie posting in here with zero activity.... mhhh this is clearly a new both trying to get some activity points in here!

And this question has already been answered twice in here, i do not understand why you all are still trying to ask the same questions once and once again, it is bullshit.

Everybody knows that they are afraid of it (or maybe not) because it is exactly the opposite as what they are.

It is the lack of centralized control over the processes - the main reason why governments are afraid of crypto-currency.
Control over the currency has many different hidden currents, especially in the framework of the fiscal policy of the country, the business environment, and, of course, crime control. If Bitcoin, or other crypto currency, will be widely accepted around the world as the main means of payment, the entire banking system may lose its relevance. To many, this idea may seem tempting and not without sense, however, it is a double-edged sword. If your account is hacked, where to call?

In my opinion, governments are afraid of bitcoin and the other alt coins because they have no way of controlling it. It is decentralized which means the people actually have the power and no government have dominion over them. I think bitcoin and altcoins are hard to regulate, this is another factor why governments are afraid.

Another one factor that is hovering around my mind is that the legislators themselves are afraid of losing their money. Adapting these alt coins means that fiat will be of lesser value and when you have too many fiat tendency is you will be afraid that you money will lose value and they are uncertain when to convert those to digital currency.

I have read an article before that only 10% of all the money in the world are printed and the rest are stored in accounts.

In my opinion, because of the lack of central authority is the very reason why governments are afraid of bitcoin cryptocurrency. Control over of the currency has many downstream that affects to the business environment. All of the government controls will be lost since non government bodies had created their own currencies.

Recently bitcoin had become a hot issue in a lot of countries and some in heavy discussion to banned bitcoin, from what I see the government is too lazy to look for solutions, blockchain is the new concept of transactions and bitcoin is one of  the future currency, instead of looking bitcoin as a threat, the government should look bitcoin as the future coin and  should find a way to adapt it, if the government keep on finding excuses to ban bitcoin then the country will be left behind

bitcoin really help people to get a better life, bitcoin provide more job opportunities and ways to increase income, so actually bitcoin also help the country to become better, bitcoin got so many potential and positive sides, why the government only see bitcoin from negative perspective, why the government so afraid of adapting bitcoin?

In our country bitcoin is somehow being prevented by the central bank due to its high value and many people we're able to got a fortune even if they don't have the enough resources to earn that much. They freezes bank accounts and questioned the owner where did they got it from.

Technology and bitcoin developments do have a positive impact, the government is aware of it, but it also brings negative impacts that still have not found effective preventive measures to reduce it. So some governments do not ban it as a whole, there are some parts that are prohibited. For example, bitcoin should not be used as a means of payment within their country, but it is not forbidden to have it just to be careful because the government does not guarantee any losses.

Because there is no official administrator who controls it, it is very vulnerable to speculation, it can be used for illegal transactions, terrorism financing, black market, etc. That's what the government is worried about. They just want to maintain the economic stability and security of their people.

In my opinion, the government is not afraid of bitcoin, the government's good intentions, in addition to the prevention of systemic financial risks, but also want to through strict supervision, protect the vast number of non-recognition of retail households involved in this huge casino.

I think the main reason why governments are afraid of bitcoin is because they cant control it like they can their own currency. Look at the British Government, they have tried for the last few years to get out of the rut the banks left them in by quantitative easing, this wouldnt have been possible with bitcoin, although arguably they wouldn't have had to bail the banks out if we all used Cryptocurrencies either!

The issue of tax could be solved if they were willing to work at it, but having worked with government officials in the UK i don't think there is the intelligence nor the appetite to allow a new system to flourish.

I think personally, for a unilateral ban by Bitcoin by the government might have a big impact on our country's economy, they would still review the profit and the loss if it prohibits digital assets in this country. maybe the government will ban the use only, not ban the ownership of assets and trade.

There's no evidence that most governments and banks have even heard of Bitcoin, let alone that they are "scared" of it.
And in any case, why would banks be scared of it? If Bitcoin was the only currency in the world, I'd still need to go down the Nationwide and borrow some to buy a house. Why would Nationwide care if my account is in Bitcoins or cowrie shells or Sharia-compliant gold?
Yes, the current monetary arrangements are unsatisfactory and yes, the new technology and new economy means that a new kind of money is on the horizon, but you haven't put forward a reasonable case for it being Bitcoin.
I read somewhere in the FT - can't find it by googling - last week that energy might be the future currency, and that sounded more believable to me.  Smiley Smiley
