Well you can't really say 'controls' Bitcoin. I can answer this question to some degree.
Who controls gold? Anyone who owns/uses it. The same principle can be applied to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has no central authority, thus it can't be shut down.

Can the government shut down the internet? Yes they can!
First, why do you think this?
It's a common misconception.
