I actually came up with this thread after I've put to considerations in researching why most of bitcoin Investors expresses their regrets of coming late to the bitcoin industry was because of the lies laideby our governments
Most governments paid no mind to Bitcoin early on. It was just another social experiment which will fizzle out in time. Anyone who didn't invest at that time either didn't have the information or were skeptical about the network.
When the price started to go higher and the community grew, more attention was paid to it and the did started, calling it a bubble which would soon burst taking your hard earned money along with it. Anyone convinced by this without doing their research shouldn't be holding Bitcoin.
The government can withhold information about the existence of aliens or cure for cancer but a decentralized network with a public white paper is not in hiding, you're just not interested enough to do your research.
