 First, that article is really old - 2013?
 Second, which government? The US?
 
 Third, no government can stop Bitcoin, however they can stop people from using it to buy things in their country or stopping conversions from banks, etc. Government doesn't have control of it (just like they don't have control over the internet).
 
 Bitcoin is safe as long as there is electricity, a network, and people that want to use it.

 Governments are supposed to represent people. Bitcoin is how people roll these days. What humanity have learnt cannot be unlearnt. Blockchain DNA is proliferating!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPR3GlpQQJA |

 Even with that, they won't be abke to stop whats on the network. Its hard to even ban it.  |

 The government will only hinder its growth. They can't stop it now. |

 Stop it? I doubt that, but they will certainly regulate it and tax the hell out of it so they can get their cut. |
