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 bitcoin will survive surely if many big investors, government and organization supports the bitcoin and with that it can develop and progress a better economy that can lead us stable and better life as we get further in our journey.
In fact, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will really survive in the near future if we keep on investing on it because as long we invest the cryptocurrencies will not die. I do believe that bitcoin will last forever as long we support and develop it. Just support cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin if we want to survive it in the future.
