  Bitcoin is the first and decentralized currency that is transferred without any central authorities and it is a peer to peer payment network. Since this is a decentralized currency and no central authorities involve in this is the only reason for governments to be scared of Bitcoin . Fiat currency is backed by the complete interference of the government authorities and Banks . The people who have earned do not have the right to use their money freely since it is a centralized one.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

The government are not terrified on the bitcoin. I think the banks are the one terrified on the bitcoin. The government they just need to show to utilize that they have worried to the general population. Following the client of the bitcoin isn't the primary issue on the bitcoin. The main cannot do to how to abstain from utilizing the bitcoin in criminal actives and the decentralized of the bitcoin this two. I think the real issue of the government on the bitcoin. Some nation to solve the issue on the bitcoin they boycott or ban the bitcoin.

So many countries now were prohibiting the use of virtual cryptocurrencies. And to think that many unemployed individuals were beginning to uplift their way of living because of their dealings with cryptocurrencies. Banks doesn't expressly say why it is banning the use of Bitcoin.
What do you think is the reason behind this?

Banks do not want to be rivaled by bitcoin hence the banks are afraid of bitcoin and for the government probably because it will shake the economy of their country.

The reason why both banks and government are afraid tof the bitcoin is the fact that this cryptocurerncy is so strong it can easily put the regular money i.e. fiat in danger or make them less and less popular.

bitcoin price growth has made many new bitcoin users including big capital investors interested in investing in bitcoin, so the less investors who keep their money in the bank and choose bitcoin as long-term investments have an impact on the government's tax revenue and government revenues, hostile to bitcoin with various issues and restrictions.

Bitcoin is decentralized, so the government and the Bank can not regulate it. perhaps that is a strong reason why Banks and governments are afraid of Bitcoin. Just imagine what happens if all people use Bitcoin. then the activities of the bank will be quiet, and the Government does not get income from the financial tax.

It is not that they are scared of Bitcoin but it is because they are not knowledgeable enough to control Bitcoin or other Cryptocurrencies. They only know that Bitcoin is a type of money which can actually overthrow them in power but only if it is used in bad situations. The government cant control Bitcoin because they do not know where it came from and how to actually control the Cryptocurrency values.

because maybe if bitcoin is picked up in the world they would prefer to invest here because they are sure to grow their money here even if they have little investment here and they are secure because they know they will not be stolen.

it is plain, banks and government don't support bitcoin because it has somehow made individuals all across the globe independent. people no longer depend on government and bank to regulate things. also banks usually use money kept with them for business and later give peanuts but bitcoin has offered so much within a short period of time, coupled with the fact that one can do all kinds of transactions at the comfort of their homes.

Governments want to control everything and also would like to trace the money especially international transfers. Block chain technology allows you to transfer your money without government trace and take the control away from their hands.

It is simply because some or other government (im not saying all because some of them are good) wants to control everything under their roof. Bitcoin is an independent currency and government doesnt get anything on it, unless they join bitcoin. There scared is because one day all of the every countries currency will vanish and replace by bitcoin. Then government cant control that.

I think all of the above is not true, government and bank are not afraid of bitcoin, instead, they want it to be centralized so that they can collect taxes and have a preventive measure to detect any illegal wrongdoings involving bitcoin.

It seems that the banks and governments are wary and afraid of bitcoin is because bitcoin is something that is anonymous but has a very high value. It makes many people suspicious and unbelieving, how can a high value asset but no physical form.

I think it is the other way around, bitcoin should fear the government because anytime, the government can stop and restrict all the transaction and usage of bitcoins in a country. I think it is not because they fear bitcoin but it is what they think the better for the country because as we know, bitcoin has been used in many illegal activities including scams and etc.

Bitcoin - and other decentralised cryptocurrencies - allow people to trade directly with each other, cutting out the need for a middleman which, in traditional commerce, is a bank.

Banks generally charge fees for doing anything with money, even just holding on to it. That's because the banks have created a level of trust that transactions pass smoothly and everything is recorded and accounted for correctly.

But as the financial crisis of 2008 proved, banks are not above abusing trust to line their own pockets.

To be able to transfer money, a person needs a financial institution, such as a bank as an intermediary. But beyond that, there is currently a bitcoin with Blockchain as an alternative.

Born in 2009, bitcoin using Blockchain technology was created to overhaul the circulation scheme. Through it, transactions between people to others can happen without intermediaries, in a shorter time, cheaper, and even much more secure than transactions offered by banks or other similar institutions.

of course it makes banks and the government uncomfortable with the bitcoin-led revolution, and I think the main problem is that governments and banks are afraid of losing control of the circulation of money in society.
