Both are good and useful things for us. The government provides us with security, stores, roads, schools, hospitals, and many more things, which help us to live. Bitcoin is like a business, if you invest then you can make a profit, and sometimes you should pick a loss in bitcoin. This same thing in business.
But, Bitcoin is the best thing for money.
Too bad most governments fail to provide those stuff you've mentioned especially if it doesn't benefit them or make their pockets bigger. I don't know about you but I think bitcoin isn't that whatever you're talking about, bitcoin's more than that. The reason why bitcoin isn't on a friendly terms with the government is because bitcoin is liberating people from being dependent on them and they know this that's why any big moves that bitcoin takes, they have to be watchful because if it goes awry, it's bad for them.
