In my opinion, the government plays a very important role in the development of Bitcoin in a country. For example, a government announces that it will accept Bitcoin in that country, so I'm sure the development of Bitcoin in that country will be very fast!

What do you think, the Government or the community who play an important role in the development of Bitcoin?!
Bitcoin's number one influencer and implementor would be the government. It holds everything about it including legalization and development of it. Once the government is involved, it would rather be so good or so bad. All things works perfectly if its on the bitcoin's side and vice versa.
It is true that the government holds the power in legalization and development but I don't think they are the number one influencer and implementor of bitcoin. I think that is still us investors and users, we are the still the number one influencer of btc. Also, even if the government banned btc, there are still ways to use btc but not in that country.
