Well, youve got a point there, because most people in government are against it. So, we shouldnt expect them to vote in favor of bitcoin becoming an official alternative currencyit's impossible for people who dont understand it. Many only see the negatives about bitcoinscams, issues, etc. Its tough to convince someone whose mind is already made up, and even harder to change their decision once its set.
Thats why the situation remains unclear, as many still doubt bitcoins potential as a currency. Even 10 years from now, I think it still wont be that stable for widespread use, and most will continue to see it as just an investment.
As some have said, bitcoin's volatility is one of the barriers that keep people from using it as a currency. And if you think bitcoin will be unstable in the next 10 years, why can you blame the government when bitcoin cannot become a currency? What role does the government play in bitcoin volatility?
In my opinion, we are the ones who contribute to bitcoin not being able to become a currency. I want to ask, do any of us expect bitcoin to be stable? I'm pretty sure not many people want bitcoin to be stable, and that means we're the ones preventing bitcoin from becoming a currency.
The government is also responsible because they would never legalize a currency they did not create and control, but it is not all their fault.
It's hard to have high expectations because, when you think about it, bitcoin has been around for many years already, yet we're still far from the goal of it becoming a true alternative currency. Yes, we hear some countries have started using it, but the change isnt really noticeable since most people still prefer fiat money.
Thats why, in my opinion, bitcoin is still a long way from becoming a full-fledged alternative currency. And lets be honest, its hard to convince people to adopt, especially without strong government support. Much more not to expect from the government to improve the situation when it was not in their interest.
