If I had to prognosticate on the future of Bitcoin and Gov't, I would think it would go something like this. As the global debt/inflation problem ramps up, gov't and institutions increase buying of Bitcoin and gold. The U.S. pushes out the stable coins to the world and countries struggle with their own currency as the people would rather hold dollar stables than their own fiat trash. Soon every country has its own stable coin priced to the dollar. Most countries make it illegal to transact in other stables or Bitcoin. You can trade Bitcoin for stables anywhere making it great international money, but not legal to directly buy with Bitcoin. Exchange has to be made through approved portals. Of course the rate is safe and effective. Black market exchange business booms.
