US has been very hostile to the idea of legalizing bitcoin ever since. But since this technology has been inevitable lately, just like other countries, so they want to take advantage and make benefits with bitcoin. Well, i cannot say they are literally late from this, as they also went through a process from banning bitcoin until they realized that banning won't stop bitcoin at all, so maybe its a good thing that they will start to regulate in instead. So let's see how well this turned out, and if they're open for accepting bitcoin as an alternative to US dollar in the future.
It would be a dumb idea to "reject" Bitcoin when other countries are opening up their arms to it. The US doesn't want to be left behind in the dust, so it will have no choice but to fully embrace "the revolution". My guess is that the US government will continue to introduce new regulations that will help legitimize the space within the country even further. But too much regulations will do more harm than good to the growth of Bitcoin within the region. How friendly the US will be towards Bitcoin will greatly depend whenever people use it responsibly or all the other way around. The more people use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies legitimately, the less opposition from the government will be. Who knows if Bitcoin gets to live alongside the "Digital Dollar" in the future? Just my thoughts ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) As simple as that, the US does not like bitcoin as it is a threat to the hegemony of the US dollar and as such they would like for it to disappear, however other countries will adopt it and if they do not then those countries will have a competitive edge over the US and as such they cannot accept it, this is similar to what happened with the 2008 crisis, the US said they were not going to rescue banks from their bad investments but then when they saw the UK will do so they had to do it as well, otherwise the UK would have an advantage over them and they could not allow that.

It's typical of the US government. When it sees other countries adopting a new technology, the government is forced to do the same in order to avoid being left behind in the dust. It's called "survival of the fittest". I don't care which country adopts or rejects Bitcoin, as long as the same remains decentralized and censorship-resistant. Regardless of mainstream regulations, Bitcoin can be used by freely used by anyone thanks to the way it was designed. If it was centralized, then it would've been easy to enforce regulations on it. We need as much people into Bitcoin as possible, so the more countries join the Bitcoin/Blockchain bandwagon, the higher its success will be. Considering that most countries are beginning to adopt Bitcoin, it's very likely Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will live alongside "digitized Fiat" (CBDCs) for generations. I'd be wise to grow your stack of Bitcoins before it's too late. Just my thoughts ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

In my opinion, the United States government has seen Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as some economists have pointed out as a bubble, that idea was sold and that is the reason why they are acting late. A conservative thought and faithful to their currency, the dollar, has not made them take a step forward to innovation.
Fortunately, there are important sectors of the nation that are Pro Bitcoin such as Texas, the Mayor of Miami, the Governor of New York among others and better yet, the pro Bitcoin Senator Cynthia Lummis is now part of the US Banking Committee.

Inflation for USD is at something like a 40 year high because of the gross negligence of politicians and their federal reserve. Hardly any regulation on Bitcoin is done in good faith, they want to stomp out its usage in order to save a dying currency. The U.S. financial sector does not need Bitcoin, though they would greatly benefit, so they don't mind being left behind in the dust. U.S. would much rather take early action and regulate Bitcoin severely before it has any chance at becoming a competitor of USD.

They didn't know that the more they want bitcoin to disappear, the more the bitcoin gets stronger because every now and then, there are countries that continue to legalize bitcoin. I think some countries have also acted like that before, same with what USA acted where they also worry that bitcoin can affect their local currency but they didn't ban bitcoin up until now. Maybe they realize that they are wrong about what they think with bitcoin and the real truth is that bitcoin cant really bring any damage whatsoever. The acceptance of bitcoin by other country did also take some time to happen. We can expect the same thing for USA.

Most governments not only in the US but all over the world are late in Bitcoin, there should have adopted bitcoin as an alternative currency, but realizing now is still ok instead of attacking Bitcoin just like China it is better to remain flexible with the law as it has to do with digital currency and the blockchain technology and how it works. Trump administration was flexible on that but did not make any attempt to make any positive development in the bitcoin

Not really necessary to be adopting it as a currency, because you would hardly see any country that would do that, except very few like El Salvador has done. What the government should have done is to declare it legal and look for ways that they can make it benefit the country and foster growth in their economy level. There are so many ways that the government in any country could have gotten involved in cryptocurrency, and it would definitely benefit them. The problem is that most of them were blinded from seeing the benefits of cryptocurrency, rather they kept thinking that it was some kind of currency that would only be used for illicit activities. Now they have seen that they can’t defeat cryptocurrency, so they want to be part of it.

It’s quite possible that they can capture that are involved in the cases that you have mentioned. They can decide to follow the cases closely and keep tracing it. It’s not like this is the first time that the government has gone about capturing cryptocurrency criminals, they have done that quite a lot of times, so this wouldn’t be anything different, and I as well don’t think that it is late for them to do that. As for the rejections that Bitcoin has suffered in the hands of banks, it’s a normal thing when something new comes into the market, it is bound to face challenges, but whatever would stay will always stay no matter the level of challenge thrown its way. The banks will have to learn to adapt to the new changes there is now.

The problem with it is that as long as the underlying reason of why people are adopting bitcoin keeps existing then the usage of bitcoin will keep growing, is it any surprise that the price of bitcoin reached historic levels and more people that ever are using bitcoin when the US decided to print more money than ever before? Not really, as long as they keep abusing their power then bitcoin will become even stronger to the point we could reach the time in which even if they were to ban it people will not obey the law and will defy it if they have to.

Good point. The US government doesn't want to lose control over people's finances, so regulating Bitcoin severely would be the best path to take. With fierce regulations in play, Bitcoin's growth will stifle within the country. President Biden already signed an executive order meant to regulate the crypto industry, so we're going to have to see how everything will play out within the next 1-2 years. Once the US Digital Dollar starts rolling in, you can say goodbye to Bitcoin in the country for good (at least it won't die because of its decentralized design). This will probably be the outcome of other countries after they launch digital currencies of their own. I wouldn't worry about that as long as Bitcoin remains decentralized and censorship-resistant. Just my opinion ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
