If you say the government gains nothing from all these, then youre saying it wrong. Okay, lets say youre mining Bitcoin, and at the end of the month you pay your bills- tell me, who are you paying the bills to, isnt it government that youre paying all those to? No matter what, they always have their own ways of gaining from all these developments.
Exactly. The government will always have some gains with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, via the bills you pay in your everyday life. No matter if you buy mining hardware at a store, you'll pay taxes for it. And if you earn capital gains with trading, you'll also need to pay for taxes. So, in the end it will be a win-win for the government and Bitcoin as people will support them both with their hard earned money and mining equipment.
However, the moment every government in the world starts banning Bitcoin, will be such where the pioneer cryptocurrency may fail due to the restrictions for anyone to support it. But as long as there is a single government supporting Bitcoin, then nothing should go wrong with its future. Just my opinion
