Anyone who thinks governments are just going to sit by and lose control are fooling themselves. I'm just surprised it's taken this long. The way I see it, this is going to go one of two ways.
One... governments will go aggressive and attempt to ban crypto or implement huge taxes (Poland) to get their cut and control their citizens. This will ultimately fail because of privacy coins and decentralization.
Two... governments will become friendly but use their most insidious tool, gradualism. One tax here, one regulation there, and before you know it they have full control again and people wont even realize it.
That's why it's important for us to stay true to the original values of crypto, decentralization and full 100% control of your own financial wealth.
