Does it matter? Bitcoin would be good for governments, but would having force monopolies hoarding Bitcoin be good for Bitcoin? I guess we'd see less state sponsored anti-bitcoin propaganda, but I can't figure out why I should care. It might help the country in some geopolitical sense, but I have no expectation that governments will stop behaving as they do, bitcoin or no. Maybe if they got the boot off our necks, and were some fantasy government, I'd want this fantasy government to have bitcoin.
Practically I think you are right.
