Why so many Bitcoin users have fear of governments?

[Ethan Argu]

Some people fear because goverment will put a tax on them big tax small earn. Corrupt people in goverment will taking advantage on it. They will use in thier own lives and they did'nt want to help thier people thats my opinion so some people fear on the goverment because you earn.Money and it will go to corrupt officials so what will happen? They will take an advantage for those people who has simple life is to focus on earning.

Actually btc holders do not directly fear of governments. They rather fear that others will fear after some official statements and sell their coins.

I can't escape to notice that many users here on forum have terrible rebbelious fear of governments. Like government is some evil devil that will destroy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But is this realy so, do such claims have any reasonable ground at all?

To my opinion the cause for something like that is again ignorance. I think that regulation that is mentioned in many countries is often mixed with centralization which is something that is not natural to Bitcoin because it's functioning totaly different than fiat currencies. Also some warnings to people that Bitcoin is volatile and risky investment that come from national banks are often interpretated as hostile behaviour towards Bitcoin and attempts to make people not to use it.

Is there any hope that Bitcoin users and governments will find the common language and help Bitcoin together to be more accepted in economy, especialy by businesses and to become more "legal" everywhere?

Maybe if bitcoin will be paying tax. Because one reason why government do not accept bitcoin is that if they will accept it there will be no more tax if all people use it.

users with a lot of capital invested in cryptos are afraid that the government will take everything away from them with the regulations

There are so may Bitcoin users who are afraid of government because of their capability to have a control in Bitcoin. They can ban it in one country if they want to. Thus, people will lose access about their accounts.

If the government just acknowledge the benefits of bitcoin to a country’s economy, it would have been their common language. For the betterment of the economy. Actualy users does not fear government but they just dont want government to control it because it would be more complicated.

Actually only those BITCOIN or CRYPTOCURRENCY users are afraid of governments who use these for illegal purposes. They have a fear that if governments at some time accepted it and have a bit control on it for their citizens, then their illegal purposes will be known.

I think we users of bitcoin are afraid of the things the could hinder our goals in life. We all know that government could implement a system in bitcoin that could affect the usage and its function on the market that could give a lot of person a headache when it comes to transactions, investments and trading. But there will be always a positive sign in acceptance where it could give people more chance to utilize and used bitcoin freely and with the aid of system.

I believe fear among bitcoin users and investors towards the governments vary on how much
these governments accept and perceive bitcoins and cryptocurrency. For nations and countries
that have some positive feedback with Bitcoins are particularly welcoming and promising, making
them ideal and advantageous to modern trends. But to the ones that reject and speculative, there
is a greater risk on the future and outcome of bitcoins in their countries.

I think these fear comes from the influences of others making them think that these two are enemies that want to overthrow each other. Bitcoin and the government can definitely co-exist but not on the same field. Bitcoin can keep doing its thing being cryptocurrency and a digital currency making convenient transactions and a living for many. The government on the other hand can keep regulating it thinks what is best and keep illegal transactions of Bitcoin at bay by imposing regulations.

Bitcoin users are afraid of the government because where they live the government bans the use of bitcoin, and gives penalties, such as financial penalties, can also be imprisonment ... I hope In future countries will accept bitcoin and see bitcoin as the common currency of the world.

Government have a power to stop bitcoin and to take control over it. Many country hate bitcoin because their government hate bitcoin they banned bitcoin if they want, Some government bitcoin is thread into there business it's all about. Users fear that their dreams, investment and money will be gone because of banning bitcoin into there country

[apolonio]

They fear that governments will banned bitcoin. All bitcoin holders will be worried if that happens. All their wealth theyd invested will be gone. But the possible that going to happen is governments will have the control on bitcoin.

[Th3Program]

I think they are afraid that they can be held accountable for operations with bitcoin. although this too can not be done in all countries, but only in those where it is prohibited. but in general, the government is more afraid of bitcoin than users fear the government for bringing to justice.

Actually in my own opinion Bitcoin users have feared to governments because if government take control the cryptocurrencies and implemented taxes in every transactions it can be lessen the profitable income in Bitcoin.

[SilverChromia]

Because a lot of people thinks that all of governments in the whole world are against on bitcoin or in any crypto currency that we have now. but in fact there are a lot of country also that has a government having an open arms to accept and welcome these new digital technology that invented to use in our future because some of that governments that these new technologies can be a profitable and helpful in the country in the future but we cannot deny that there are some bad peoples that will abuse to take the crypto down in these world so thats why a lot of us taking a measure to understand a lot of things in the crypto world and spread it to a lot of people and to be realized them that there are not anything to fear about bitcoin or in any crypto currencies

[david tien]

I noticed that too. Fear of government is prevalent in this forum. Must be the bandwagon effect. Or most people here have something to hide.

[Black Angel]

Bitcoin users have fear of governments because the government has a very strong right to manage finances, even the government can imprison anyone who is considered against the state, and we all know that bitcoin much in contradiction with state law.

It is not surprising that banks are not happy with the fact that they are obsolete, and - with the help of governments - they try to limit crypto-currencies after they initially rejected them.

[kobratuz]

Probably Bitcoin banned some countries so, government can catch those who using bitcoin so, there will punish them, I think this reasons for bitcoin users have fear of government.
