If bitcoin was created ostensibly to gain the financial power of the government that created it, then what is the mechanism for the growth of this financial power? In practice, we see quite the opposite effect. Cryptocurrency showed the vulnerability and imperfection of the current fiat payment system and provided citizens with an effective financial weapon against their own governments. I see no reason for governments to create weapons against themselves. This is just one of the theories that are being expressed a lot now without any evidence.
