How can Bitcoin ever reach that point of acceptance by a government if ultimately Bitcoin is disruptive against all states and governments?
If bitcoin wouldnt be so volatile government might reconsider their actions towards bitcoin. Anonymity is also one thing to look at since most bitcoin users are anonymous except for the ones who do trading at the market.
Or can Bitcoin be money even if it can only be used as a gold substitute?
We are using it as a "money right now, but government and most financial institute look the other way. Without the acknowledgement of the government bitcoin will still be a bubble, scam etc. and wont come near gold.
