Government’s Positive Stance
One of the factors that clouded the judgment of the investors while investing in Bitcoin, was the Governments all around the world that were looking to ban Bitcoin, but with the evolution of the blockchain technology and its benefits, Government’s stance has been changed and they are looking to regulate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
