We've all seen this phrase before: that the government and/or banks will more likely to create their own cryptocurrency, but what are the odds that they really will? How can we be sure that these two sectors will create their own coins eventually and will it even change the game if they do? If they did, will it not threaten bitcoins and altcoins because the common people who haven't heard of bitcoin before might choose to use these bank/government-created coins instead? Do we really need more coins?
If ever banks and the government will truly create their own coin, I think they will be treated like normal Altcoins and nothing is special about them and the fact that they are not decentralized just like any other cryptocurrency which investors and enthusiasts supported for privacy and security purposes. I don't even see them as a threat to Bitcoin and one example in this discussion is Ripple and will soon add Petro of Venezuela which is a state owned crypto.
