Governments of many countries are practically declaring war on cryptocurrencies.
Why is that?
Because the government doesn't want anything that they can't get their hands on it. Crypto is decentralized, they would have a hard time to control it. The only way to it is through tighter regulations. But some of them wants a full ban.
This is what is happening. It is believed that some countries are concerned about the rapid development of bitcoin. It's hard for the government to levy a tax on the bitcoin, if people do not trade. In addition, the government is also concerned that bitcoin will weaken the legal tender voice. In the past year, we can all feel in the speeches of many national governments.
This war is already happening but it became evident last year because crypto booms and I'm sure that this year, we will see government either accepts or rejects it. This will be a long war for crypto, but I think that we can win this war at the end. Government will see that crypto is not as disruptive as they want to picture it.
