...what? Bitcoin was created because it would become the new currency. Governments aren't going to just accept that a currency they have no control over is the new de-facto, I highly doubt that goverments are all just going to say "yeah, we're alright with everyone switching to Bitcoin". The price has nothing to do with it.
amen, but I do think the price has something to do with it as well. if the asset has a high valuation, and subsequently a lot of value tied up in it, a crash could ruin the fortunes of its citizens in a way that would affect the tax basis. im with you, this is mostly about "bullshit we are replacing our manipulatable fiat with something we cant control or disrupt permanently". fiats would fail if governments didnt manipulate them; inflation has its place in sound, short term fiscal policy. but i do think the government doesnt like all this sudden wealth creation, this transfer of value.
the status quo could change if the wrong folks got the funding to do so
