The government wants to control bitcoin and soon if several more countries ban it, the price may drop significantly. Bitcoin has grown very well and is a huge competition for the banking system.
I agree , the government more likely wants to control bitcoin rather than to kill it or to let it gone in the future. Be asue they also know that bitcoin has a good future ahead. It just depends on how people would support bitcoin in the future for it to attain once again the development and the innovation it could achieve.
Government cant just stop a thing just because of its own will. If this will happen investor of every region will be on road and will create a miserable situation. So thinking like that doesnt work invest and enjoy the blessing of bitcoin so that believe in bitcoin will come into you.
