I don't think anyone here, even if they knew, would admit it.

I can tell you for sure though that no government will ever declare Bitcoin illegal. It's too dangerous, too ineffective and it exposes fear. What's gonna happen instead is that they are going to attack everything significant that is Bitcoin-related. The first and most obvious aim are Bitcoin exchanges (this is already happening).

Don't for a minute think that any government would appreciate the idea of Bitcoin.

They could label it as a tool used to fund illegal activities and terrorism (and they would not be wrong). Even if they technically can't stop it, they can make people lose trust in it and therefore make it into something only a small niche are using.
