Over the years cryptocurrency  has evolved into a global currency but governments are trying to sweep it's relevancy under the carpet. We all know that the eyes of the community are now opened to the importance and blockchain technology.

What baffles me is why are the government making lives difficult by banning or limiting it's use? Is it because it threatens the political power or are they scared it will improve the global economy or force the traditional banks to reduce their ridiculous interests rate which we have been robbed of for decades now.

What is your take on this and what do you think will make governmental bodies to finally accept crypto?
So far, leading states, including the United States and European Union states, have come to the conclusion that cryptocurrency does not pose any threat to global financial stability. Moreover, cryptocurrency does not pose a threat to the existence of specific states or their governments. Cryptocurrency is still too small and cannot significantly affect the global financial system. If she walks along with the national money of states, then she will even be able to benefit both citizens and the state as a whole.
At the same time, cryptocurrency is not even able to threaten the existence of states and their governments.

In my opinion, it is because, of the banks. Banks has been a long time partner of our government, the government looks after the bank and the bank looks after the government, now, cryptocurrency which does not need the use of banks or any other third parties are coming, and the banks are threatened that they will lose their jobs, so the government as well feels pressured by this circumstance, but there are still lots to discuss when it comes to the government and cryptocurrency.

I'm also looking it as a main reason. Government is benefiting from banks across a nation since it is being hold by them. Cryptocurrency was created as decentralized that no one can over power it. Contradict to the role of the government. Therefore, existing of cryptocurrency from a country can create a threat towards government. I'm just amaze to Japan, instead being it as a threat they used it for the good welfare.
Yes, governments are the most beneficial organizations out of banking. Cryptocurrency being on the decentralized platform gives no power to the hands of governments. Governments weren't clear in the usage of cryptocurrency, that the inflow of economy is supportive to the growth of the country's economy. Japan is truly an exception who learned better about cryptocurrencies and believed on its potential that it'll surely beneficial some day as each and everything is getting integrated to technology.

Cryptocurrency scares the governments because it is a complete practice of decentralization which allows the people to gain absolute financial freedom without the interruption of any third party. Here, transactions can be scanned but the entities involved are not known. With this, the government thinks it is being robbed of its power to hold control over the financial transactions of the people. Also, some governments are of the conception that crypto is involved in drug trafficking, the purchase of stolen materials on dark web, money laundering etc.
That last impressions still applies with crypto industry, being used for illegal transactions is mostly the reasons why the government don't wants
to let this system being adapted from their jurisdictions, wanting to have a full control and be able to sort how the people interact with this illegal
activities by the use of traditional system.

Fear might be the scapegoat but in reality, they are afraid not being paid with taxes in which crypto users can freely do with this system.

To make government accept crypto currency maybe easier than we think. We only need to show our seriousness to pay tax based on cryptocurrency that we have. All this time people are talking about avoiding to pay tax by the use of bitcoin. Maybe if we orderly pay cryptocurrency tax then government will accept bitcoin and will not pretend bitcoin as a threat.
Actually the government does not feel threatened by the presence of cryptocurrency, but the government has an interest in controlling the adverse effects caused by the existence of crypto money that can harm its citizens. Besides that, the government certainly tries to get income in the form of taxes from the transaction.
If these two elements can be fulfilled, of course the government will open up and allow cyptocurrency to be used in the country.

the government worries that if the crypto currency enters the economy of a country, the government will not be able to control it and can damage the exchange rate of the country's currency, and the transaction cannot be monitored whether it is for good activities or actions that violate the law and harm the country or someone
it is really what you say but I am sure that in the future the government will adopt an economic system that uses crypto currencies so that it will make the country's economy more advanced and developing

I don't think so. The government is also thinking this in advance and crypto currencies will never be a common currency but digital currency will. The government will never let a technology like the Blockchain slips aways, they will be applying it. As far as I know there are banks studying the technology in order to make a development out of it.
moreover in developed countries it has legalized it, so as a partner, of course, they must follow the development of developed countries. I don't think it threatens the government, but this is because preparedness is still lacking

Which country is still banning crypto now, China I think and I was always surprised it wasnt immediately banned as they ban everything that does not benefit the regime.

 This is new in the USA from news this week - https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/us-senator-wants-ban-bitcoin/

The basic idea to the ban for Bitcoin is that US dollar is used a form of power and control over other countries policies such as Iran selling oil and also Dollar is used as funding because it can be printed but it requires demand and usage from the world for that.
The idea of the ban was against capitalism basically and freedom but I can imagine if Dollar is under threat then people may start to think the solution to ban alternatives.   There is over a hundred alternatives to dollar so its not making that much sense to try and single out BTC as the problem, its not

Fiat currency its a currency that a government has a control while crypto can not be manipulate and can not be created out of thin air.  If people adopt a crypto currency then the fiat currency price will plummet. Its one of the reason why government impose a stricter rules in cryptocurrency.
the government and crypto currencies currently in my country are still prohibited in direct transactions and may threaten me not if the development of crypto currencies can be regulated and go hand in hand with the government itself

What baffles me is why are the government making lives difficult by banning or limiting it's use? Is it because it threatens the political power or are they scared it will improve the global economy or force the traditional banks to reduce their ridiculous interests rate which we have been robbed of for decades now.

Rather than befriend Bitcoin, governments claim their actions are meant to protect the people from market manipulation. However, they’re actually attempting to kill a currency that poses a threat to government monopolies on income and printing money.

I once read an article where one renowned  islamic scholar claimed that crytocurrencies are "haram and that Muslims and Islamic countries should ban it not for any financial reasons but because it goes against the teachings of the Quran. I think in this circumstance, i'd say that it threatens an Islamic government.

Bitcoin is not really dangerous threat and it's actually not a threat for their economy. Government want everything under their control, government can't control bitcoin due to the decentralization nature of it. Bitcoin can be a good tool to improve their citizens economy because if government legaize bitcoin then there will be many investors who invest in bitcoin and their citizens who become early adopters of bitcoin can be richer than before.

I agree with that, since cryptocurrency is much desirable than a centralized entity like government they start to feel threatened in terms of power and since Blockchain technology is effortlessly booming at this point people are starting to recognized its capabilities like experiencing a faster way of making transactions, fruitful investments and numerous feasible projects like medical insurance given by  Afri Health that focuses on providing effective and efficient medical solutions for people who is in need, and I think this is more interesting and worth our efforts than being controlled by the government.

cryptocurrency doesnt threaten the government but the government rather are the ones that threaten cryptos because they always said bad things to it  but they shouldnt do it to cryptos because cryptos are harmless .

cryptos doesnt threaten anything but its rather helpful to the country or to the economy . as of today we are lucky that almost 80 percent of the government of any country are now suporting cryptos  . they change thier minds for the better  .

It is hardly possible to recognize that the cryptocurrency is seriously threatening governments. The government and the state as a whole have very effective levers of control over the finances of the country. Of course, the anonymity and decentralization of cryptocurrency do not like governments and, therefore, can allow the circulation of cryptocurrency on its territory, but will never actively support it. The government will only support its national currency. This is his task and it will be correct on his part.

 Smiley Most of our government has looked at modern technical issues much later. But yes, in the last decade, it has been the only one who has lost their capital. At one time, everyone has become weak towards modern Block chin technology and achieved success. The government can not do anything to interfere in any country.

It's simple, control, when they lose control, everything seems bad, that's why governments are against the bitcoin and blockchain technology, the banks are the first affected, because they have nothing to control there much less establish amounts or that they manage the money.

The main reason for governments is that they can not control the technology, it can be a waste of money and energy to take over everything that has to do with blockchain, it would be like something almost impossible to take control, so some countries They have decided to get involved with technology to take the best of it and be able to apply it, some have adopted the idea of ​​creating cryptocoins based on some already developed.

The blockchain technology makes it totally impossible for processes to be corruptible, this is another reason why governments do not like it, it represents a bad path for them not being able to do their usual movements to try to steal or take advantage of situations, as they always do.
