From bitcoin is a scam to bitcoin is the future
Over the past months/years there have being numerous statements and speculations on the digital currency “bitcoin”, deciding its fate and on how a money that you cannot see or touch can be used for everyday transactions. Many countries have been calling the cryptocurrency a “Scam Coin” and that it is meaningless and pointless.
The Governments
The Governments have been attacking the cryptocurrency, and even some countries banning bitcoin for use. They believed that Satoshi Nakamoto wants to dupe people off their money by collecting their fiat money and giving them a pointless and useless digital coin that is of no existence (which is false).
This might be one of the reasons why the creator of the most popular cryptocurrency “bitcoin” decided to stay anonymous, which I personally think was a good choice he made.
Bitcoin became a household name as a very risky investment and scam coin when Mt. Gox got hacked and people lost heavily due to the hack. This was when the Government fully thought of it as a coin for illegal activities in the dark web.
