As far where I am living, I do not agree that the government hate bitcoin.
My country is cryptocurrency friendly since my country welcome its technology. As a matter of fact my country, Philippines, considered Bitcoin as mode of payment and welcome any legal development about bitcoin application. As a matter of fact, our government allow cryptocurrency trading in my country and is open for further collaboration about blockchain technology.
It takes more than 1 paragraph to discuss this thing bur actually it is all about tax. Government likely get a tax tp anything but in bitcoin they can't, that's it.
They can if it enters an exchange, and/or used to purchase an item legally (setup by merchants).
