The US dollar is the currency which is still most often used for criminal activities (even the governments themselves act criminal rather often in my opinion ... for example if they are leading wars or exporting weapons ...). So why not forbid the US dollar instead of the bitcoin? :)
The real aim of the governments is to have full control over the citizens, their transactions, their communication and even their thoughts ...
Maybe people should fight harder for their right to use crypto currencies and vote for more modern, open minded politicians?
Sorry to give a massive late reply as I was busy because of the on going college exams ..
Well @jaki01 totally agreeable with whatever you said because the government of any country cannot generate huge amount of revenue from the bitcoins they are freezing and doing all kind of shits the day they can opose huge revenue the day it will get a handful of support till we will get the tag line of terrorist but if the government of any country supports it will totally change the real scenerio nobody will be poor fingers crossed maybe after 20 years it happens so when a new age poltician and his/her government come ...Maybe hope so is the words we can use as of now....
