If government wins over bitcoin I think it is still the benefactor is us the people, because government is also the people who use bitcoin and a government that make a better rules and regulation to used bitcoin.
to me i think that the government already have the power to, some government have banned bitcoin in their countries, but to me i think that a time will come when they will review their decision and will surely make bitcoin as legal currency, because bitcoin is the need of the day and we have to accept the fact about it.
