"For any currency to succeed ultimately, it needs to be accepted by government as good for payment of debt and taxes. Bitcoin is anathema to the bankers, and these financial terrorists will cause pain and death in any country that attempts to adopt it, and blame it on the currency extremists. They don't need governments to kiss and make up."

I think people need to stop focusing on getting BTC accepted as a national currency. The government will not gain anything from doing this and in fact they will lose the power to control the economy. Why would they allow this to happen?

I feel like people should concentrate more on getting BTC accepted by the people as a "alternate currency". There is a much better chance of this happening.
