Even today,there're still truth,information that still remains unknown to us as citizens and individuals.One of the biggest mistakes to make in life is to depend wholly and lay so much trust on the government.
I think its okay for the government to be transparent with the public,and at the same time act otherwise.
So many governments around the world have considered bitcoin as a currency that'll disrupt economic and financial activities of the government,and that's why there's why there's the clash.
To me I think bicoin and cryptocurrencies will continue to be viewed with distrust by governmental authorities until the governments can more effectively monitor and control them.
Even if you don't like the actions of the government, you have to trust the government and follow their instructions. You have to go according to the budget they make. When the government adds extra VAT on something, you have to accept it because you cannot go against it and reduce the VAT. Many activities of the government may feel bad to you or go against your will but you must accept them. You must take into account some of the points you made here on the subject of Bitcoin Validation. For example, the economic conditions of all countries are not the same. There are many developing countries whose economic conditions are weak and the governments of those countries certainly do not want to stop domestic transactions through banks because when domestic transactions through banks are stopped, they will suffer a lot economically. Considering these aspects, we cannot say that the government always takes bad decisions.
