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?
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.
