Because in the first place, the government never think about killing Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general. What they want is that tried to regulate Bitcoin and controlled it but unfortunately, it is impossible and Bitcoin still decentralize and uncontrollable.
Bitcoin becomes the hottest investment today and almost all of us knew it already aside from those people who have never engaged in the internet. It soon comes that the government will become friendly to Bitcoin and allow the people to use it freely without the hesitation that might put them in jail just like what happens in some country.
Yeah. Such clueless people. It would just be a waste of police time to arrest people for this. It might also start riots and protests. It is basically taking your freedom away. Bitcoin still helps the goverment and country becuase there is still sales tax and there is also the stimulation that it brings to the marltet whcih is much needed during these tough times.
