This has been talked before, no way to effectively kill bitcoin, calm down.
There is actually, but it would involve eradicating the human species at this point. I don't think any governments would go THAT far.

I think if it gets too big and an actually competitor to the dollar then yes govt. will try to limit access to Bitcoin.  No, govt. can't "KILL" Bitcoin but it can really hurt it by limiting access to Bitcoin sites.  Imagine, they would limit access to sites like this one even.  If the dollar goes down, I think anything goes.

It's a lossing game, Bitcoin cannot be killed.
Correct but it can be deregulated and outlawed, china is a good example of this.

Also considering that 90% of people are in Bitcoin because they believe it's an "investment" *shakes head* this would effect the value, popularity & mining.

They could surely try, with varying possible degrees of success.

They could make it illegal for any banks to do any business with Bitcoin exchanges, which might stop large Bitcoin buyers in countries where this was made illegal. This could cause a significant drop in the value of Bitcoin.

However, they could not prevent smaller scale Bitcoin transactions from taking place without implementing a 1984-style police state and completely destroying the concept of free speech.  That isn't going to happen, and if it does, Bitcoin is the least of our problems. (After all, Bitcoin is just people sending messages to each other.)

The elites are regulating us through printing notes. They won't let it die rather than to kill bitcoin to keep fiat alive.

And they would kill it how exactly and under what grounds? You'd have to shut down the internet to stop it.

Remember they arent a 100% evil controlling group who consciously try and screw us over in every single situation although this does happen very often.  They have a decent level of control and elites use them as a very effective tool to manipulate us.

Elites have the power and they have almost unlimited funds to invest in new things, i cant believe they are totally anti new things.
 
Illuminati confirmed.  Wink

In all seriousness you are right.  Governments did not try to kill radio, TV or the internet.  It is likely they will do the best to regulate it, rather than kill it. Besides, if they wanted to kill it they would have done so a long time ago
But they may place strict regulations for controlling it if it becomes more popular.

If dollar currency will be killed, government will surely be in chaos. So, Is the government trying to kill bitcoin too?
