Well i beg to differ on this topic and with the point that you have raised. Governments can't be influenced by major stakeholders to accept bitcoin as a payment mode for transactions. The government has enough capacity to have done check up and have realized legalizing bitcoin would not be appropriate even though so many people within the country engage in it probably the president himself. but the situation over here is that bitcoin is very volatile and the rate at which its price fluctuates its insane. How would the government explain itself when after legalizing bitcoin it sells it to the nation at say $1700 only to wake up the next day and see bitcoin sinking below $1500. The government is very much aware of this and that is why they can not legalize it publicly but trust me they are the whales in the crypto communities.

You have a clear point, in fact I have learnt a thing from your contribution. But I support the claim that major stake holder of the economy can influence the government's actions.
Imagine a big institution like MicrosoftWarren Buffet's brokers conpany accept Bitcoin and move tons of funds form the economy to invest into Bitcoin; how will the economy function form that time?
I believe if such paradigm shifts takes effect some governments will follow suit.

The price of Bitcoin was predicted by many crypto experts and analyst to be rising when it year is about ending. I guess this is that time. Although it is fluctuating its price is rising at a steady rate, so investors should be patient.

Buying and storing Bitcoin is a form of stock investment. Bitcoin investment is done purposely to increase returns and gain it as an asset.

Many people relate their fear of Bitcoin to how anonymous the technology is. Some other such the people with  high profile thinks it will disrupt the system that they a have taken so long to build.

I think regulations on ICOs will help a lot. Many ICO turn up to be scams everyday and this declines the growth of Cryptos because this makes people lose interest and investors loose their money and lose interest in investing in other ICO. The stress of finding a credible ICO sometimes is a heavy burden

The price of Ethereum is predicted by many crypto experts and analyst to rise very high in price during the second half of this year. Altgough the price keeps on fluctuating, it rising significantly now. So I advice that you hold to increase your returns
