Most countries are in full control of their own monetary policies and financial systems. If a alternative currency is introduced, would this improve or reduce the efficiency of a country?
Will this remove their control or would it be just another payment option, like PayPal?
Why are governments so scared of Bitcoin, if they can regulate it's use. The first defensive tool seem to be banning the technology, which in my opinion should be the last resort. Should they not analyse the threat based on proper research and public participation. < like they did in Canada > and then make harsh decisions like this?
Why are they ignoring the advantages that this technology might bring and implement extreme precautions as a primary action?
Is Bitcoin really such a big threat to them or are they just misinformed on purpose? < influenced externally by people with hidden agendas >
Let's discuss this please.
It's obvious that a government doesn't really benefit from bitcoin... why would they want a currency they cannot control? governments work by governing, in other words they dictate the rules. Bitcoin has its own set of rules that are neutral for everyone. A government will never lose its ego and follow rules that aren't their own (and if you believe in deep government stuff, they they break their own rules behind the curtain, which they cannot do under bitcoin)
Bitcoin is a neutral catalyst for the world to put their wealth on there. Some people save their ass thanks to bitcoin in countries like Venezuela, yet in China they will they you it's evil or western banksters will tell you its a fraud.
Bitcoin is what it is, don't let some idiot define it for you because he has a lot of fiat.
