Years back, so many people, including politicians and influencers, spoke about bitcoin with the intention discouraging its adoption, but here we are now; it is near impossible to stop bitcoin at this stage. The adoption rate is high and it keeps growing everyday as the world gets to know about it.
So always ignore people who make those negative comments about bitcoin, it's their choice if they choose not to accept it, but it doesn't change the fact that bitcoin keeps growing and the market will keep doing well. The best I think the government can do now is try to control it, hopeful they don't.
