Basically, you are waiting for a bunch of criminals (the governments) to increase Bitcoin's legitimacy? Good luck waiting.
I don't need the word of the government to know if something is useful and stimulating a free economy. If people somehow need the government to spoon-feed them with (flawed) etiquette, they can just as well get lost directly, because they clearly can't think and act on their own. This empty headed chicken mentality is exactly what makes goverments so powerful; they know they can do with people whatever they want, and they will swallow it like a bitch.
Tip; Don't ask/wait for approval or permission (from whatever entity) to use something that doesn't require any approval or permission to be used.
Governments are powerful and they should be, not only for a single reason. My opinion is a bit contradictory. We can't go against the government for all the time in life. Yet we need to encourage them for taking steps towards legitimacy of Bitcoin and other virtual assets.
People who go against the government rules commit crime. Those people will be happy with a blurred impression of BTC who are involved in unethical and truly illegal activities. But those governments are welcomed who accepts the decentralized model of currency.
But let’s first think. Where does the government get it’s power? Don’t the people give it’s power? Were it not for the people, the gov’t would not have any power and authority because this is given by its
people. If the people did not appoint them, then would they have any power? No, of course not. Do not view the gov’t as some ultimately powerful entity. We have our rights and I believe the use of crypto is one of them. The use of crypto is not a crime unless declared so by your gov’t, so you shouldn’t have any fear and you should be free to continue using it.
