Actually all people do know the value and capabilities of Bitcoin. Governments are afraid of it because it is only one thing in contemporary world that can challenge (or outpower, reshape, renew) the version of state we have. Bitcoin movement is only known 'against State power movement' currently.

So, it's clear that governments will hate it or try to take it down. But, they will slowly accept that the real power must be vested in the hands of people not in the hands of 'a few people, let us govern us all and hail Bitcoin'..
