Government and their fear for Bitcoin!
I don't agree with this. Specifically in my country, bitcoins are legal to own, hold, and trade on the bitcoin market. If our government wanted, they could ban it and there would be no bitcoin exchange. In my country there are lots of bitcoin exchange markets for IDR. Even though our country still prohibits the use of bitcoin for payments, this is not a problem because our citizens are still not ready to implement it
Many years ago, many countries banned bitcoin and had a negative view of it. But even with those bans in place, people still find ways to use bitcoin quietly. This causes even more headaches for the government in managing the people. Then, the government realized that banning bitcoin was ineffective and that it further caused them to lose a source of income, which is taxes. So today, many governments have no choice but to accept bitcoin with some regulations attached.
