Quick answer to this is because bitcoin transactions can't be monitored or controlled by government authorities and they can't stop money laundering with bitcoin.

But there are lots of other hidden agenda governments/big banks have which can be affected by introduction of bitcoin. Many countries have legalized the use of bitcoin but it is still not accepted as official currency like other fiat.

Quick Answer government can track Bitcoin Transaction I don't know about anywhere else but we do, If IRS suspect any fraudulent transaction and suspicious money laundering type of transaction IRS can track that which is already started, Its not easy but its not hard to find who is actual owner.

No matter how clever or smart a criminal thinks of himself, he is destined to leave a clue behind. Maybe, it's what we call karma. Universe returns one's act back to him. With time and brutal effort, IRS could have discovered ways of tracking. That's why I have always advised people to do the right act so that you don't need to hide from anyone. No fear of getting caught.

Governments are working on regulations that will incorporate cryptocurrencies into their economies. The problem currently is the great volatility in the market - it IS affecting governments. I'm sure within the next 5 years we cryptocurrencies will be regulated.

How? If we can create new cryptocurrencies immediately.

There are arguably only three crypto currencies - Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. The rest are actually tokens and scamcoins. Anyway, as long as the government regulates it and the laws integrate cryptos, people really won’t be able to create them just at will. I’m sure tokens will be easily created. But regardless, I think it will require some sort of approval process. This is the nature of regulations.

Honestly I dо not see any principle differences between BTC, forks and other altcoins.
And I think that people will be able create their own new cryptocurrency as they wish anyway. This is a matter of trust of a group of people. Which can be very different in size.

I think it affects the government very much when transactions, the flow of money without taxation, it hurt a large amount of property. In addition, the government can not control Bitcoin as well as its account holders. So they do not let Bitcoin officially operate

As for the situation that we have here in our country, bitcoin hasn't affected the economy yet seeing how little attention there is for the crypto plus businesses that accepts bitcoin are non-existent as of yet. The government is open into regulating bitcoin as they have already made a statement that they'll support it provided that exchanges comply with KYC and AML regulations.

According to the market trend, governments are intending to accept bitcoin, so I think the bitcoin market will grow strongly in the near future. That's my personal opinion.

Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous and decentralized which no governments will support as they want to control the money over people. Some country's and governments will think of making their own crypto currencies sooner or later.

If the government officially adapted bitcoin then there will be a chance that the income tax will be decrease, because all of the transaction is hidden and then if most of the citizen used crypto currencies then the circulation of fiat will be decrease and that can caused inflation, so before government make a move, the government need a lot of preparation and thinking

it is not that easy for government to accept cryptocurrencies anytime soon in official way because the idea of crpto against some regulations made by them , at every country government need to control money resources and weapons which is not possible in our worlds .

When we think about the national currency each country has got, it has its control under the hands of government. The same is not possible with the bitcoin, even if the government legalized bitcoin. Also in the past several negative as well positive results have been obtained on legalized usage and different governments have different thinking about the bitcoin adoption.

It will take down everything they worked hard for and their grand grand fathers.
Fiat money or let us make USA as an example which is using the USD. It is their history and we know how patriotic every country is. With that, changing their currency is like just demolishing their own patriotism. The paper money tells their heroes or great presidents and should mot be stepped down.

Governments and big World Banks will make their own coin or something like that. They don't like cryptos because profit isn't going to theirs pockets.

Government don't want that their people use a decentralized currency with anonymous transactions because government can't keep an eye on the money of public and there will be also tax issues. Many countries have already legalized bitcoin but they regulated it first. Yes they can strongly affect the economy of a country if majority of the people in a country use them.

Bitcoin's transactions aren't anonymous! They only seem to be anonymous, but you can track every single coin and at some point somebody will have to exchange it for fiat or goods. At this point he will become a target if somebody decides to put enough effort into finding him. Cash is more anonymous and almost impossible to track.
Governments are trying to ignore it for now because they don't need it. They have their currency that works and implementing unstable Bitcoin would mean a lot of work.

Sweet Jesus yes. Bitcoin is pretty much the literal antithesis of Fiat. Besides the lack of centralization, and it's deflationary nature, the pseudo anon nature is probably the kicker. Bitcoin enables capital flight; no gov wants that. They can't effect the protocol in a meaningful way, and a fair amount of criminality has attached itself to bitcoin because of the aforementioned points. Govs don't really have a reason to like bitcoin, it doesn't really jive for what has been pushed as sound monetary policy up to this point.

But, bitcoin is still a bit undercapitalized as far as subverting a nations fiat. Maybe a teeny, tiny country Wink

I think the government does not authorize crypto probably because crypto is not the same as money and not physical, in fact in many crypto countries still not yet legal unlike money because a country can not regulate the circulation of crypto.
