> Governments want you to think of crypto primarily as an asset and not a currency, because they don't want to give up control over currency creation.
According to Adi Shamir[1] 98% of bitcoins belonged to 2% of portfolios in 2012. So... The government is "bad" because you can actually express your opinion in monetary policy, you know who's who, etc. and BTC (or any other crypto) is good because you have absolutely no idea who the 2% is? I'm not following...
Regarding the gov and BTC. The government will tax BTC the same will tax any other asset, so in reality, the gov doesn't care. You can choose to hide profits from BTC and you'd choose to hide profits from any other financial activity. I don't really see the US Gov fighting bitcoin, if anything the gov tries to put BTC into perspective.
If you are anti-gov because "gov is bad (by default)" I get the feeling but has little to do with BTC.
