Making Bitcoin a legal tender means when a person goes to purchase a commodity, instead of paying with dollar or whatever currency is being used, they pay with BTC.
Given the unstable nature of cryptocurrencies, and the untraceable nature, would you suggest it wise for countries to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender?
Recently, El Salvador and Central African Republic announced that they have adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender.
Bitcoin is a digital asset that the world has never seen before, it is built the way it is for the people and people love it that way, despite the ups and downs, the number of people who have an interest in bitcoin keeps growing, if people want it, they should allow it, after all, it is not forced on anyone, making it a legal tender gives the holder hope that it is recognized and the reason to doubt and fear it would be eliminated.
Within you and from the actions of the government you have seen, you will agree with me that it is all about power and control. The government hate anything they cannot control within their cycle that is why instead of accepting it as a legal tender, they rather regulate it and eat junk of revenue from it since they know it is a global currency they cannot control and they found ways to swallow revenues they are used to, they regulate it and claim they are friendly with Bitcoin
The government is accustomed to fiat, but there are some additional characteristics that bitcoin has that money does not. For instance, the dollar is a global currency that is widely accepted in most countries due to its stability durability, and advantages over local currencies, bitcoin, on the other hand, is far superior to fiat because it is censorship resistance, peer 2 peer, divisible in bits, limited in supply, decentralized, and no middle man, this is what the government don't want and hence the reason for legal tender rejections.
