One of the most important issues in creating volatility in the crypto market is the ban or the freedom to buy and sell them in countries. Therefore, it is definitely very important to examine governments’ opposition to blockchain and the possibility of preventing governments from expanding blockchain and cryptocurrencies. In a useful and brief statement about governments’ opposition to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, we can point to the decentralization of cryptos.
In fact, the decentralization of cryptos means the decentralization of the system, which can be considered the main reason for governments’ opposition to blockchain. In fact, all governments’ objections to cryptocurrencies are summed up in this seemingly insignificant and small issue, which means that the key to turning the system off and on is not in one person’s hands.
Systems generally have two modes, Centralize and Decentralize, which of course include different degrees in different systems. In a simple expression of the concept of these two modes, it can be said that in a system like the Centralize system, the key to turn it on and off is in the hands of the government, government or even an individual.
This is not the case in the Decentralize system and this key is available to a large number of system members. In fact, in the Decentralize system, no person will be preferred over another, and all members participate in the decisions and the future of the system.
The reason why governments oppose blockchain and cryptocurrencies
Governments’ opposition to blockchain is also due to the fact that governments seek to hold the switch on and off a system, or in other words, to own the system. This is while one of the main goals of the blockchain network is to get the off button to turn on the system from the hand of a person or power and leave it to the members of the system.
In history, we have seen that for many centuries, the silent key to turn on the whole government has been in the hands of a certain person or power. In fact, that person and power is able to make decisions about all government issues.
Mr. Baron de Montesquieu or Charles de Secondat , baron de Montesquieu, the author of the book The Spirit of the Laws, one of the French political thinkers, said that the Centralize government system is correct and respectable, but it does not work. Because according to this system, many of the people are unemployed and in fact nothing is in its place. Because the legislation and its implementation are not done correctly and justice will not be properly established in the society. Therefore, a Decentralize system should be replaced.

The problem of governments with the Decentralize system
In the Decentralize system, decisions related to governance are made by different groups so that the affairs of the country can proceed properly. Montesquieu’s book The Spirit of Laws in the 17th century had the same revolution that Satoshi Nakamoto’s article in 2008 has in our era.
Mr. Montesquieu sought to decentralize government and governance methods and Satoshi Nakamoto sought to decentralize the financial systems of the world. Now consider a person who holds the power of a government and a country; Do you think this person distributes his power easily? The answer is definitely no.
As the governments are forced to agree to the distribution of their power, they will definitely agree to the distribution of their banking and financial power in the same proportion and maybe a little harder. As a result, it is very clear why governments oppose blockchain.
It must be said that governments’ opposition to blockchain has not been lacking until today. And governments have not stopped trying to destroy cryptos to this day. Closing business accounts, filtering sites, shutting down crypto businesses, etc. are some of the things that we have seen all over the world and in our own country in line with governments’ opposition to blockchain. But all these things have caused the speed of crypto development to increase significantly.
