In the past, many countries banned Bitcoin, but they used Blockchain technology for the benefit of the country. Finally, over time they realized that the existence of Blockchain technology was very helpful, finally over time they accepted several crypto activities starting from trading and investment, then they took advantage by applying tax on income from crypto.
They are indeed smart, but the important thing is that this cryptocurrency can continue to grow rapidly.
The war was actually not against Blockchain Technology but against the product of Blockchain Tech, which is Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, asides cryptocurrency, Blockchain Technology has been quite useful in other areas hence the reason why it was embraced.
The reason that the government and other financial authorities war against cryptocurrency was due to its decentralised nature, and the fact that financial authorities has been removed from their hands and placed in the hands of the citizens.
The government are used to being in power over every areas that concerns the country, especially financially, so depriving them of that absolute power wasn't funny at all.
There is also a reason that is usually stated by the government, namely because decentralized cryptocurrencies are feared as a tool for money laundering and other crimes.
Because this will make it difficult for the relevant departments to trace it and arrest the perpetrators of the crime.
So actually there is some truth in what the government is doing, but the most important thing right now is that we can see the development of crypto in the world growing more rapidly every day.
Money laundering or terrorist activities have been existed before and still now. No government has been able to stop this type of crime even with fiat currency and it is not possible to do so. But while the crypto space is booming, some governments want to restrict the use of crypto due to this issue. However, if we consider the positive and negative sites of crypto use and discuss its positive aspects, then cryptocurrency will definitely gain acceptance in all areas. Although some countries support Bitcoin, most countries still view crypto negatively. But despite their continued negative outlook, they could not hold crypto. Despite all this, crypto has held its position.
