I'm not really bothered about Bitcoin being legal tender. I just want it to be accepted and let me able to use it without breaking any government laws. Anybody should be allowed to accept Bitcoin in his business if he wants to. Bitcoin wasn't created to be legal tender. In this age, very few governments will openly accept Bitcoin as legal tender, it contradicts what they stand on too much. Accepting Bitcoin proves that their system is flawed.
All I just want is for the government not to fight Bitcoin even if they're against it. They shouldn't be looking for ways and propaganda against Bitcoin.
If the government allows bitcoin alone and the issue of network congestion is fixed, I believe the adoption of BTC would increase because like it or not, it is better to use bitcoin than fiat.
What matters most is the adoption, there's no point in making it legal tender if people won't use it, and people won't use it if the cost of using it is higher.
We all know bitcoin runs in a decentralized system, so making it a legal tender simply means the government will also have control over it and it system which wasn't the original motive of it
First of all, which government would own it? These people have gone to war for less things, imagine what would happen if it were possible for one government to own Bitcoin. I know they won't come together as one for the sake of owning Bitcoin.
That being said, governments can't have control over Bitcoin they don't own it, and nobody does. You can't control what you don't own. What they can do is make policies that affect people using bitcoin in that country thereby regulating it. Regulatory bodies would only do their jobs but that can't control it.
