But as of now, no matter how popular Bitcoin becomes, it will keep facing the wrath of the angry government who need to keep people poor.
The future of Bitcoin doesn't necessarily lie on the hands of this angry government that you've mentioned, but rather it lies in the hands of individuals that sees it's volatility and decentralized nature but yet we know that it needs the involvement of the government So as for the crypto currency to be adopted by every citizens and be recognized also as a legsk tender, but all of this ain't coming forth and this is why the fate of Bitcoin is pending but aside that it's going viral and known as the number one of all crypto currencies.
They play huge rule for its success but unfortunately these old man sitting in power didn't bother to know more about it and they just think about bitcoin is just an investment and not a currency that can be used for various things. That's why they think negative about it since they worried about the volatility. But if they just look at it on brighter side or as currency for sure they would see its real potential towards having an alternative that can be easily used online.
But I think they also have a interest to protect and they cannot get anything with bitcoin that's why they try to discourage people so that they would stick on the system which those politician continue to take advantage with their people.
