hi there
I wonder why should governments allow bitcoin to continue growing?
after all, they want to have control over the money that we are using
Because BTC was made by american intelligence to easily fund their agents & spies all over the world.
That't what Natalia Kasperskaya said at a Kaspersky convention, and i believe it to some extent.
After all, if the gov hated bitcoin so much then it was very easy for them to take it down:
they may just arrest/blackmail the devteam/distributors of Bitcoin,
and/or block the bootstrap node IPs that the BTC wallets require to join the network when they are launched.
It would be that easy
