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 ?
Government cannot control bitcoin because bitcoin doesnt want to be controlled. It is the advantage of bitcoin that it cannot be controlled because of its anonimity and privacy. Also, if the government will control it, you have to pay taxes and transaction fees which can make transactions expensive. Bitcoin users love bitcoin because of its cheap and easy transactions. If you remove that, bitcoin will never be unique.
