The latest news is that the US government is look closely at Bitcoin. A number of governments such as Russia and China are also planning to issue their own digital currencies. They clearly see a financial threat from Bitcoin.
What do you think? Can governments kill Bitcoin and replace it with their own digital/crypto currency?
I do not think that US government will do this. Some of the countries like India have made an statement that they are thinking to launch their own crypto but I do not see much potential there because:
1) Thy are calling crypto bad and thus banning bitcoins. Then if they launch own coins, who will have trust on this hypocritical attitude.
2) Since, they are banning other crypto, what will their coins compete with. I think that it is because of comparison and competition only, bitcoin gained so much popularity.
