A potential threat is always an enemy of the state. If they cannot find a way to regularized or control bitcoin then it is a big possibility. And i think the present attact of bitcoin is their doing.

Even if they try , they will not succeed. They can have their own cryptocurrency but bitcoin will remain.  People are supporting bitcoin and for as long as there is cryptocurrency there will always be a bitcoin.

Hello everyone, a good question, in Russia they are trying to prohibit the use of crypto currencies. I do not know what it will lead to

naah! never! government cant kill bitcoin but they are trying best, they will not successful.
Old government very afraid from btc. banks also in danger because use of btc increasing day by day, banks will be destroy if btc unban from the all countries.

Bitcoin is decentralized and can not be killed as it has shown that surviving in such situations when you start from scratch is very hard ad Bitcoin has gone through that situations now the time is very good and favourable. If Bitcoin has survived in that situations the today killing Bitcoin is impossible for Governments but possible for people. You must be thinking that why people will kill it but can not because Bitcoin is the well and wish of people so it is impossible and not an important question to ask.

Every government have the power to stop bitcoin operations when they amend or create a law for totally banning of bitcoin to their jurisdictions .
I'm hoping that my country could not do that.

They cannot kill bitcoin, but they are trying their best to try to manipulate the market and the people holding cryptocurrencies, they are trying to scare people away with all the regulations that they are imposing, I'm sure that the regulations are going to be so complex that you are going to need several accountants and lawyers and most the time people do not want to deal with that and they will avoid cryptocurrencies as a result.

For me.yes if all tje governments all around the world will banned it into the market because in that sense the bitcoins will not.run anymore and the people cannot use it because it is banned but maybe it can be used because there wjll always be an illegal activity but they will lose a lot of people and the price will surely fall down too. But lets not forget that yhe Japanese is really supporting the bitcoins so that thing will not happen in.real life. Noyhing can stop bitcoins if there are still one country who supports it.

I don't think any government can totally kill Bitcoin but they can hamper it's growth or even reduce its value. They'd do this through two mechanisms: legality and bank regulation. Banning bitcoin would remove a lot of the 'honest' investors and thus reduce the value; it'd push bitcoin into the fringes. For instance, big investors and even institutional investors would be forced to cash out into fiat.

The big hammer governments have is through banking regulation; imagine if governments around the world forced banks to sever any connection to institutions that purchase bitcoin, such as Coinbase. If Coinbase couldn't receive fiat from banks that'd dramatically push purchasers away. The only way to get bitcoin would be peer-to-peer transactions.

Together these would dramatically lower the value of bitcoin and to me are the biggest threat to long term value storage. If neither of these happen then Bitcoin will just continue to climb in value.

I think it will not happen, if the government wants to kill bitcoin would have been done for a long time. his real bitcoin has lasted for 9 years. bitcoin has been designed not to be easily destroyed by a government. its decentralized system makes the strong bitcoin unmanageable to anyone.
