Stopping bitcoin to operate is out of their hands and not really possible, but what they were trying to do is to regulate and have authority over BTC so that they could exploit it and make good use out of it. It's not like all countries are against cryptocurrency. In fact, there were many countries that legalized BTC on their own territories, such as the U.S, Japan, and U.K.
Yeah it really is what I mean was it is so impossible for every government to stop the operation of bitcoin because as long as there are investors and traders and those who believes in bitcoin it will still operate. Knowing bitcoin today, now a new and a trending kind of investment happen probably no government ever stopped bitcoin to introduce in the market and economy. And yes the only thing that the government can do was either ban on their country or legalize the use of bitcoin in their economy.
