We are led to believe that almost all governments are corrupt and that most officials and even leaders of the world are bought.
We saw this for instance with the US elections where rumours are doing the rounds that massive amounts of money were channelled from foreign countries to influence the outcome of the election. This money had to be laundered through shell companies via Banks and complex money laundering systems.
All of this leaves paper trails and this can later be followed and investigated to find the true origin of this money.
Now think about this, why would "corrupt" governments want to appose Bitcoin and Crypto currencies, if they can use it to hide their "corrupt" practices? Would it not make sense just to allow it and then use it to further their political aspirations?
The push back from these corrupt governments does not make any sense. Could it be that they know that Bitcoin and Crypto currencies are not "anonymous" at all and that these transactions can be traced and for this reason they are apposed to it?
Curious to know what you are thinking.
I really do not think that this is about that, this is about power and influence, governments of the world have a monopoly when it comes to currencies, in the past this was not the case, when gold was used as the main form of money around the world not only countries had the capability of creating their own coins, anyone that had gold could create their own coin and it could be accepted as long as it was made of gold and had a precise weight.
But governments outlawed that practice, then they created paper money which was backed by gold, and then when they got people to accept that form of money they stopped backing the currencies with gold and that is why we have fiat currencies, they love that system and they are not going to let it go unless they are forced to.
