maybe the government doesn't understand bitcoin, as in my country it's still not permitted / banned on bicoin, but many have played bitcoin in my country, except in some parts the government doesn't know what bitcoin is, and I'm sure sooner or later they will know what it's bitcoin. and immediately permitted
I oppose. I believe governments know what cryptocurrency is particularly the bitcoin because in that institutions there are economist, IT professionals, consultants, and so on that might be aware to its existence. They just not infavor to it maybe because they don't have faith in it. Also, it can be use as a tool to scam others and the transaction hereis so easy and you can go unknown (as what most people here say).
