I doubt the possibility of a global consesus on the adoption of Bitcoin and other Crypto-currencies any time soon. There is a way crypto and the blockchain will bring trust and normalcy to the financial system, that some governments wouldn't want because of personal gains. Also, The fact that it could also help curb illegal hoarding of funds doesn't appeal to some individuals. However that doesn't stop the rest of us from embracing the currencies of the digital world. Some countries have gone viral already on the use of Bitcoin. Time awaits the economical boom of these countries in few years time.

Why you doubt on global consensus? If most of the advanced countries adopt it, all others will have to follow, if they don't they will stay behind. That economic boom will be connected with crypto, there isn't any other way, look at this list, after only 9 years of bitcoin come to this, from zero to here in very short period, what prediction we can make for 2030? If you say that crypto can bring more trust in global financial system that will be recognized and that will benefit all the people in the world. Current system is run by minority, few people are very rich while hundreds doesn't have for food and water, with fair distribution, with more trust all the people in the world can live better, and that's why crypto will win the race, it's just the matter of time. Countries lik ilIndonesia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Ecuador and kyrgyzstan can't hold global progress, people there will fight against it, world will help those people and they will have to change their system's.
