I'm wondering this because is such a real threat to bank system and we all know how banks and governments are tightly linked !
BTC could make people more autonomous, self-resilient, being their own bank. You can use it like cash, making your transaction almost untraceable (or untraceable using e.g. monero or dash or laundry systems) : this is governments worst nightmare, isn't it ?
Because some government believe that bitcoin in their country will be a big thing that can of course help them to grow up their economy. Many people use bitcoin nowadays because of its different and very unstable value that can make your money big. But of course bitxoin has also a disadvantage but despite that people will surely use it as well as the government.
It is right that some governments dont consider the matter so serious but no doubt that the interest of the people is growing very fast and the day will come close soon when every government will worry about bitcoin popularity.
I think currency less people as compare to world population are known to bitcoin thats why governments are silent now.
One thing is also here, if governments want to declare bitcoin illegal worldwide, but they cant take any action against bitcoin nor control bitcoin because bitcoin is decentralized safe currency.
