Rather than attacking, the government realize it's better to coexist
The government in the past have attacked bitcoin times without number but they failed because of bitcoin decentralized nature. They have no option than to allow it coexist with other asset because bitcoin has proven them wrong and continue to maintain its nature and the purpose of her creation by Satoshi. The people have known that the government have been spreading the FUD about bitcoin because they don't want their citizens to understand the true potential of bitcoin. This is why the government accepts the coexistence because the citizens wants to invest in something new to save their wealth from fiat depreciation overtime.
The government may accept the co-existence with bitcoin but we all know the government is showing a two-faced when it comes to bitcoin. It’s not a secret that until now, the government has still not supported bitcoin mainly because of its decentralized nature.
The government is selfish, they want to take full control on everything, until bitcoin came, and become a threat to fiat, and the worst thing is they can’t gain an access and take full control on all bitcoin that exist in the market.
