Governments of many countries are practically declaring war on cryptocurrencies.
Why is that?
I think the government does not understand Bitcoin and wants to control it. whereas bitcoin can not be controlled, may only be regulated by regulation in the country. It is true that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will disrupt banking as we know it. This makes them want to hold Bitcoin back. The government also wants to make sure they get taxes from it. But, It is the future technology. No one can refuse it.
