Exactly. This is what I have observed since Bitcoin made its debut upon reaching its ultimate peak in 2017. Governments did not really bother having cryptocurrencies before said peak. It was only when news broke last year that a huge number of people have been earning through cryptocurrencies. Hence, of course, governments are interested with anything that is income-generating because it, in turn, give them good money through taxation. Any other factors incidental to it such as the rising criminality are merely indirect considerations for sure that are made to appear as if it they are its primal concern. You know, governments have to make it appear they have legitimate and compelling reasons before everyone else. Now, I am surmising they will think of other ways to ensure they are put in a good spot no matter what it takes.
