Why the disagreement between the Government, Bank and Bitcoin?

[ilovealtcoins]

It's not just because of volatility, fraud, etc. that some governments and banks are against Bitcoin. There are more fundamental reasons to it. Decentralization, for instance, is something the governments and banks don't like. So even if Bitcoin isn't as volatile as it is today, we should expect the same unfriendly treatment.

The truth of the matter is that they can't control Bitcoin so they're mad at the technology. This is the truth. Whatever they say is just their own way of attacking Bitcoin subtly, in a way that won't give them a bad name.

Volatility and scams will be resolved quickly if they get bitcoin under control, so that's not really a problem. And you are right, decentralized, non-control is something they will never accept or support bitcoins. But given the strong and unstoppable growth of bitcoin, they will soon accept to some extent is a certainty. I believe all governments will soon accept bitcoin, but accordingly, there will be a series of regulations to oversee it.

The bank is afraid and will be racist toward Bitcoin because it is taking food from their table. If more people embrace Bitcoin and take away all their deposits from the banking sector, the banks won't have what to use for their lending services, what they can charge users for transaction fees, and every other means by which they are earning from their customers. If you are to be any of the aforementioned parties, will you gladly embrace what seems negative to your business?

Is Bitcoin such a formidable threat that banks react with apprehension towards its existence? Yet, if we delve deeper, as illustrated by the OP, where electricity is supplied and regulated by the government, internet access is controlled by the government, and both the government and banks can potentially benefit from Bitcoin.

Banks can offer custodial wallet services for cryptocurrencies, which, of course, would not jeopardize their position as the reigning lenders in the country. People would purchase Bitcoin with fiat currency, and the control of their wallets would be in the hands of the banks. Although this contradicts the concept of decentralization, at least Bitcoin would become more mainstream and recognized by the wider population.

In doing so, banks would reap profits, and on the other hand, society would also gain awareness and education about Bitcoin.

Among the last three terms on my topic, each has representatives, and they've been having disagreements; the Government and banks against Bitcoin. With no tangible reason why it's so? I mean, Electricity came, the government and the bank accepted it and placed an electricity bill, the internet came they both accepted it and the Government works with ISPs to take bills from data subscriptions. Bitcoin came they took advantage of centralized exchanges, yet they're not satisfied. I've read multiple bad reasons placed on bitcoin volatility, fraud, etc, and don't see it tangible because every innovation has its risks and importance.

On the contrary, why do Bitcoiners quarrel with them? knowing that they, Government and Bank, got no strong evidence to tarnish the image of Bitcoin completely. I think the quarrel will make Bitcoin very famous to the extent that both opponents will have no other option than to submit to Bitcoin.

There is no disagreement. There is war between these three entities. The reason is very simple. While Bitcoin gives the power back to citizens, banks and governments are more willing to control the power at their end. So there is obviously a conflict of interest amongst them. No government wants to loose the power to control the citizens financial matters. But with Bitcoin, they can't control it anymore. That's why government are furious about it.

Decentralisation has its own benefits which cannot be fathomed by the controlling authorities.

[Litzki1990]

Most media or newspapers always give negative publicity about Bitcoin. That is, who has done any scam through Bitcoin or what people have misused with Bitcoin, this type of news is usually always broadcasted. As a result, various government officials, including common people, always have negative thoughts about Bitcoin. But if this bitcoin is accepted by different countries then it is possible to do a lot of good work through this bitcoin. We need to get over the negative hype about Bitcoin. If we think about the positive aspects of Bitcoin and plan accordingly then it is possible to change the financial situation of different countries through Bitcoin.

[davis196]

Don't compare Bitcoin to electricity and internet. They cannot be compared, since Bitcoin(the blockchain) is built by using electricity and internet. You can't mine Bitcoins without electricity and you can't use Bitcoin without the internet.
The governments are against BTC (not all of them) because they view it as an enemy to the fiat financial system(and the upcoming CBDCs).
This perspective isn't true, because we can see that Bitcoin/crypto isn't destroying the current fiat system, both fiat and crypto can exist without any problems, so this "crypto vs. fiat" antagonism is kinda fake(even though all crypto fans like it).
Maybe sooner or later all governments and banks will reach to the conclusion that this "crypto vs fiat" collision is fake.

OP, the answer is actually very simple :

Governments control the supply of all currencies and by doing that, they control the economy and the people in their country. So Bitcoin takes the control away from them, if Bitcoin replace fiat currencies and they want to prevent that at all cost. Governments can also monitor all transactions via Banks to track people's wealth... and for tax purposes.

The Banks on the other hand wants to make profits by over charging people on transaction fees and Bitcoin takes away some of their customers and they hate that.

Bitcoin are breaking the control that Governments and Banks have over people and they cannot handle that.

[Iadegbola34]

Disagreements among the government, banks, and Bitcoiners stem from various factors. Financial institutions express concerns about Bitcoin's volatility, its decentralized nature, and the potential for illicit and untraceable activities. Bitcoiners on the other hand, views these criticisms as a resistance to innovation and as a way for the government to have control over the financial system. The relationship between Bitcoin and traditional institutions is evolving, with some institutions exploring the blockchain technology. i believe an open dialogue and collaboration are essential for understanding the benefits and risks of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin.

[Crypt0Gore]

I've never seen where the government became friendly with something they can't control, why is Russia in war with Ukraine right now? If they can't control something they either take it by force or ruin it and if they can't ruin it they will hate it till the end of time.

If the government loves something, they are getting big benefits from the thing, in the case of Bitcoin, nothing will settle the hatred between the government and Bitcoin, nothing, the only way they can benefit is keep hating and slowing down its adoption, yet causing panic still makes them get some Bitcoin and later dump on the investors.

No one can tell me that the governments are not buying Bitcoin, they like the advantages that comes with having money e.g. making more money but they are mad for not being able to track down Satoshi Nakamoto and take control.

Simply, there is always a struggle between the old and the new. Any new invention in history took decades for society to fully accept it and eventually replace the old system.

This is the logic of historical development, so it is very natural for the old system (banks led by the government) to fight the new system (Bitcoin) but in the end Bitcoin will win because this is the natural logic that evolution works with.

So I am personally optimistic about the future of Bitcoin and that it will eventually get global adoption.

The most basic one is because the government cannot control the Bitcoin system like they control the banks.
Bitcoin is a future technology that offers a unique concept with a fairly good level of privacy that cannot be controlled by any other authority besides the user compared to other electricity and internet technologies that you mentioned that can provide income through the products they produce.
Imagine how many large companies carry out their activities or operate using electricity and the internet.

If governments accept Bitcoin, they assume fiat currency activity will kill itself. From a rough perspective, we can see that printing the amount of fiat currency each year has also benefited them.

Government will never submit to bitcoin because it is a currency that is not from them and both the government and banks sees bitcoin as a threat to fiat currency. The fact is that bitcoin volatile nature and decentralization has given the government less power for easy manipulation and taxation because transactions are done anonymously. In one sentence it shows that they don't benefit from bitcoin and the government feels that every currency should be controlled by them so that they can also have their quarter from your transaction. Internet and electricity can be monitored by the government and they receive taxes from those business. Let us allow them to say or come up with whatever talk on bitcoin, bitcoin awareness will keep on spreading till it gets to all the ends of the earth.

[348Judah]

There will always be a disagreement between them, because the banks and government works in hand while bitcoin remain on it own, the two of ther cannot made or influence any changes on bitcoin such that will work in their favour just as they have been doing with fiat currency because bitcoin is a digital currency and its a p2p network that is decentralized, anyone can decide on how, when and what the market value is with bitcoin before selling or buying it, government will always want people to be under their regulations with the use of fiat because they can control the banks since they are centralized while the p2p network cannot be regulated by any government or financial institutions.

There were already good answers in this thread, including taxation and control etc.

I would like to add to this: One of the main reasons for major disagreements among all three players is the fact they have completely different underlying reasons for their actions.
- Banks are profit oriented organisations, tangled between legislation and their aim to pull max profit from potential customers.
- Goverments should ideally serve their citizens, however the reality is, most of them try to keep and increase control over them instead.
- Bitcoin is a liberation from both, exaggerated govermental control as well as greedy banksters and associated big corps. It is decentralized (!= banks), it is borderless (!=governments), it is open-source (!= banks & governments), uncensorable and most importantly out of any direct control from both banks and governments.

Just looking at these massive differences or even opposing internal motivations makes it clear why there is disagreement among all three of them.

Bitcoin doesn't need governments or banks to exist, it doesn't need to agree or disagree with the current system either: it just offers you a system with a solid set of rules that you are absolutely free to ignore. It is a decentralized system of voluntary participants, it is an antipode of a fiat system of governments and banks, which is gravely centralized and coercive. Governments don't produce anything, no economic goods they can sell for money, but they need to provide services and defend themselves from citizens: they utilize the fiat system to finance their needs, it is their sole source of income besides taxation and confiscation. With Bitcoin, it is a lot harder for them to tax citizens and confiscate their belongings, it is impossible to finance needs by printing more Bitcoin. Why accept a system that makes you less powerful?

You mean under the government's control? No, there's no telling what would likely happen if that will indeed happen but since bitcoin is decentralized, which is a good thing, that makes them powerless in taking over cryptocurrency under their control because it is designed that nobody can own it, even the creator Satoshi himself cannot own as a whole. But being decentralized doesn't stop the government from having benefits over it, if only there are like other countries who are friendly towards it, like El Salvador now.

[Z390]

The disagreements between bitcoin and government should be obvious to everybody, we all know that the government always like getting something out of everything that is making money and I believe the government is mad for the fact that bitcoin is bringing money for many investors and they can't be able to make money for themselves because they can't control Bitcoin that is one reason why they are pissed about Bitcoin.

The only way the government can make money out of Bitcoin is them turning into one of the investors themselves and I bet the most like that or maybe I should say it won't be satisfying for them, they will prefer to be in control.

[Solosanz]

Electricity is fully controlled by the government, it's almost impossible you can find the free electricity by yourself.

Internet connection is almost fully controlled by the government, but some good VPN or Tor they still not able to control it.

While Bitcoin, they're not able to control it, they can control Bitcoin through centralized exchange, but there are many ways other people can get rid off from the government. Not all centralized exchanges are cooperated with all government too.

Maybe the less reason with thag is they cannot have full control on bitcoin and so hard for them to implement taxes to each bitcoin users that's why they choose to give negative impression about it. But there are countries open about possibilities of adoption but its just the volatility and negative impressions brought up by several cases of scamming stopping its adoption since government look at that situation as big risk on adopting bitcoin on their circulation. But who knows maybe in future we can see some changes of every decision they made and they decide to adopt bitcoin since they find it very useful.

Actually, we Bitcoiners are not in our habit of being angry with the government or the banks, can't we just see what it can do and help us so we trust Bitcoin more than the rules that the government wants?

We can see that a few years have passed that most governments that fought against the concept of Bitcoin did not work in their destruction of it and proved that they could not control it, so instead of criticizing it they just rode the trend here in Bitcoin because otherwise they will be left behind for sure.

The government and banks are like a coin with two sides.

Now let's think without blaming each other to get an answer.
In this sophisticated life, no one in this world can do activities without a bank account. Bank accounts seem to be the most important part for people in living a normal life.

People who want to be part of a bank, such as opening an account to deposit money, need to agree to rules without any coercion. Everything is regulated under the agreement that our money is managed by them.
The presence of Bitcoin in the midst of the economic turmoil that hit the world seized all of it. Bitcoin gives freedom to everyone to live life according to their own tastes above their own money.

Reference here -> (Bitcoin: The Social Phenomenon) by nullius. That topic is a perfect answer to the three terms you meant.
