Bitcoin is very good but is the government really ready to adopt it? Is it really what they are looking for?
The government is all about centralization and that doesn't fit in with what Bitcoin represents, which is freedom and decentralization.

So, I don't think any government can adopt it, the best they can do is give people the freedom to make use of Bitcoin or any payment method they decide to use, and then it's up to the people to choose what payment method is best for them in any situation. If the government decides to adopt cryptocurrency, what they will do is to create their own coins and not even adopt Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency; all the countries can't be using the same currency.

Which aspect of performance?
Is it to move faster and take up the world currency, or the delay at satisfying the present users.
Any moment of break " the period between a bull run and another bull run" the miners take good time to upgrade certain specifics on cryptocurrency just as the IEO came to replace ICO, The KYC came in, all the make it more acceptable. Each bull run time bull becomes more popular. And this must be prepared for.

It's expected that many won't accept it as much as we want because we're here. I don't know what we will feel if we are part of them or we might feel the same as them because they don't want to submit themselves and be open about bitcoin.

They have no issues if their government doesn't stop them from just holding or buying bitcoin. Those countries that doesn't have that strict ruling about bitcoin will look for an opportunity such as investments and they can consider it especially just after this pandemic.

I think it is not that they don't want to submit themselves and be open about bitcoin, but maybe they are already contented with what they are used to like the fiat. There are really people that will not touch the advancement of technology even if you offered them at their doorstep. I think we just need to respect them on their preferences.

For those who are open to new payment methods, they will find that bitcoin or crypto has so many benefits, and they will be those kind of people that will endorse this to their friends, family or colleagues.
It's a good point. I've learned that there were people that are not willing to be open about risk-taking through investments and don't want to get involved with it because they're too contented of what they have.

I do respect them and sure others too.

Anytime they can change their minds if they start to become curious about bitcoin because it's getting already reported on the mainstream. I think that's a big factor that they can no longer ignore if they keep on seeing news and updates about it. Bitcoin might get attention again if the price surges unexpectedly.

The blame for the volatility of bitcoin. People can forgive and come to terms with long expectations of transaction confirmation, but they cannot watch their assets fall in value over several months.
People simply cannot afford such risks. Bitcoin is too speculative asset, and in order not to make a mistake, it makes sense to buy bitcoin only for the "extra" money that you have .

It has what is needed in world for now and its not emergency option that needs quick adoption, It has been here for over 10 years, safe, reliable, improved and available to everyone and everywhere. Has all the features of money and looks like the provision the government is not looking at right away because of pride.

1. durabile
2. portable
3. fungible
4.  scarce
5. divisible
6. recognizable

So what is the world waiting for?
I think security is what the outside world is waiting for, with the news always flying around of fortunes lost in this space, it will be hard for the space to see the mass adoption we've been craving for. With each passing day, we see more and exchanges got compromised making hackers and fraudlers doing away with million of cryptocurrency worth lots of fortunes.

Most people are already in their comfort zone and feel no need for change. For hardline fans, it will be difficult to accept changes, so they tend to consider something new as a threat, even before it is tried. We should be more open, change is a good thing, cryptocurrency offers a lot of advantages, as mentioned TS, the decision is entirely in the hands of each, which is clear if you do not try this then you will lose a good opportunity.

A big threats to the government and the banking industries maybe, and that’s why they are blocking the people from knowing the real usage of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. The world is so busy fighting the pandemic, the $ is facing a big challenge again so I think people can start learning bitcoin now while they have still time and while the price is still down. Don’t worry about the delays, we will hit a big market soon and in the future.
The fact is that in my opinion, many governments speak negatively about Bitcoin due to the fact that Bitcoin in any case will undermine the government's monopoly on printing new banknotes.  In addition, the anonymity of cryptocurrency is beneficial for many corrupt officials who hide their tax-free funds obtained by criminal means in cryptocurrency.  It is beneficial for them that Bitcoin be located on the Black Market, and not be legalized in the state.

Because the world doesn't know that they need Bitcoin. Once the masses realizes how important it is, we would already be on the moon. Be patient and just accumulate.

That or when people learn about the dangers of fiat (printing) money, and the vaport money that doesn't exist anywhere but comprises 90%+ of fiat, thanks to fractional reserve banking.

Bitcoin has indeed remained stable in the middle of an economic world collapse, that should tell them something at this point...

The fact that USA is printing additional money right now to "bail" some people, should concern USD holders. If the USD crashes you will NOT have time to sell it. No one can do that to Bitcoin. No one can come and say: "gee, lets bailout that poor exchange that got its funds stolen by "creating" (printing) some more coins and them some". Can your altcoin say the same? Most don't.

A country is managed by a government which I think theg will make or accept something that has a benefit for them. I bet, they will ignore everything if they didn't get anything or they can't be able to manipulate as they wish.

Have you look bitcoin is something like that? You can't make everything especially for your greedy in bitcoin. I said this because I see it in my country. They just making something that will be benifited for himslef and for their party.

Bitcoin already works, but apparently not the way you want it.
But that is what Bitcoin must,it is on what we are looking but what Market is heading and the technology behind this.
this is the problem if the sole reason why people investing and entering this market is Money,because the essence of the objective of Satoshi creating this is for the Future and not for today and just tomorrow.

There are so many things to consider why we are here,and why must we here and not just the Profit that may occur sooner but what will this that may change the world forever.

Perhaps, bitcoin still need more time to be used as the payment system globally. We should wait for more because the adoption process still not grow fast, but bitcoin will still have the chance to get that. Besides that, the government approval will help bitcoin to grow, but that will not as easy as we think, especially the world now has a serious problem, and they still work to help other people. At least, right now, many people already know about bitcoin, although we cannot know how many people who already use bitcoin.

Actually the reason for bitcoin is not immediately performing, because most people do not really know bitcoin. Moreover, many politicians
who give misinformation about bitcoin, so some people think negatively about bitcoin. Therefore it is the duty of all of us who understand
about bitcoin promoting bitcoin, so that all citizens of the world know about bitcoin. I'm sure if more and more people support bitcoin, the
government will definitely legalize bitcoin too.

You can't expect the world to adapt a currency in an instant without having to know the how's and the basics about bitcoin. While true to some extent that it has all the capacity to help the world in the crisis that we are currently experiencing, I don't think a lot of people know how it actually works, and would therefore be afraid to use it today. Add to the fact that there aren't enough merchants in the market ready to accept bitcoin as is, so that adds somehow to the equation as to why bitcoin isn't really performing really well when it fact, it should since it offers a lot of things in the table.

Your case doesn't really have any punch to it - you should be suggesting that it is a contactless form of payment and is a quick and cheep alternative to electronic payment systems that can charge 1%- 5% (or higher) of the purchase price added on as a transaction fee by the bank where as bitcoin has little or no fee.

The Lightning Network pushed that transaction fee even lower still to fractions of one cent on every day transactions as well as colossally high value transactions as well.
Your opinion is still an improved case of bitcoin to new users for adoption. Most importantly I think bitcoin is more ready than in past 10 years for the world.
Bitcoin is indeed more ready than the previous but you must not forget that some platform are yet to support the lightning despite the gravity of the  accomplishment achieved by the project.
With that been said, the potentials of bitcoin is not enough to make bitcoin perform in some circumstance that the government stance still play a huge role and also in the current pandemic bitcoin shouldn't be expected to perform well despite the upcoming halving.
