I think for bitcoin to be a real currency, government have to accept it first.
So I ask what country do you think will recognize it as a currency?
Bitcoin is indeed a real currency. There are countries who are moving in positive direction of recognizing bitcoin as currency. For that matter Japan has already recognized bitcoin as currency. [1]
Russia is also trying to get hold of bitcoin. One big problem with the bitcoin as currency acceptance is bitcoins nature of decentralized. This lack of control is something bothering govts to act against bitcoin or trade water safely.

http://www.newsbtc.com/2017/04/02/japan-officially-recognises-bitcoin-currency-starting-april-2017/ You are quite on the right track. You raised two salient points which are different in there own zones but attending to the core issue. One is that which points op to the fact that countries are already being positive about bitcoin, Japan being in the pack. The other point is that which points to the fear of governments as to the decentralized and uncontrollable nature of bitcoin. To this fact, I think governments would speedily adopt bitcoin if they are able to implore means to check or control it.
