I have been saying this all along that governments appreciate the many innovative feature of the blockchain technology but there is just one thing they can't take and that is the lack of controls once they would let the whole beast roam. That is why they always want to establish regulations so as not to lose the thing that makes them as the government.
We should expecting that soon there would be central banks who can be using digital currency platform to launch their own version of cryptocurrency and these coins can be competing directly with Bitcoin. But as the man above is telling us: never be fooled as we should know what side are we siding with.
Bitcoin being decentralized make them lose control so they will always find a way to get back that control of the people. They have been continuously studying blockchain technology to compete to the existing digital currencies and later on would make their own version of it and would insist to people that it should be the one use because it is the legal one. They would make their own version which is the legal one and make bitcoin and other digital currencies already in circulation illegal so that people would avert their attention to their own version. This would not be good on our part being enthusiast already but maybe in the impending war, I might just give in because I want to follow the law.
