If the US government wanted to end Bitcoin, it could do it in a heartbeat.  It would take the tiniest fraction of the US budget to utterly destroy Bitcoin.
Probably no one in White House or Pentagon understands how Bitcoin really works. The traditional mothod of FBI seizing server will not work. The ASIC development costs time. 51% attack will not destroy Bitcoin but ruin transactions after hardcoded checkpoints.
