I recently read in the gambling board that the Thailand Prime Minister is set to legalize gambling for an option to generate national revenue through its taxes after it has been lawfully pronounced illegal activity in the pasts.
Such a smart move opted me to digress on the thread that those governments who had tagged Bitcoin an illegal developed technology in their various countries should have a rethink.
I think these are very diverse fields to be brought in contrast with each other. The only connections your getting to make here is, having to have seen them as illegal but this isn't the vitals. The distinction between these field is that,
Gambling platforms are centrakized while,
Bitcoin is decentralized.
Now, it's easy for government to legalize Bitcoin because it exists within fhe realms of centralization which is what the government is about. They could be regulated with a high level of efficiency and parties to this are very well known.
When it comes to Bitcoin, government don't yet know how they could suck its sap and that makes acceptance really difficult. Although, they can start by regulating them centralized exchanges but, its just a part to the system and Bitcoin is fully functional without it.
Even so, we just have to keep hopes up but, the government haven't stopped individual adoption in a decade which makes them a not so relevant factor.
