the day bitcoin specifically is favored by governments, then we know we're in trouble!
why would we want banks to see bitcoin as an ally?
part of bitcoins reason to exist is to get rid of the banking mafia-like structure, printing money out of thin air.
don't ally with the enemy, it's for noone's gain except giving them control for a final kill! I think, atleast.
just wait them out, we finally have something which is not controlled for anyone's direct gain, where people are in control of their own funds.
is there a reason that's not preferable above banks?
The government and bitcoin joining force is impossible to happen, because as what we know, bitcoin is created to be decentralized, so its impossible to contolled and manipulated by someone. If the government want bitcoin, they need to do as what bitcoin want, they are the ones who needs to follow and not bitcoin follow their wants. I believe that in the future, we are only be using digital money, and the fiat money will be gone, but that would be another century i think.
