Governments Could Outlaw Bitcoin – Jim Rogers
The famous Investor went on to state that Bitcoin could grow to become a “viable currency” and more than just a “trading vehicle”. He stated clearly that the cryptocurrency could be threatened by control from the Governments when it reaches that stage which might deter its existence – decentralization;
“If Bitcoin ever becomes a viable currency instead of a trading vehicle, they can outlaw it. Governments don’t want to lose control, they like their monopoly. Do you think they’re going to say, ‘Okay, here are US dollars and they’re on the computer, but if you want to use something else, you can?’ That’s actually not my experience with governments at any time in history.”
