I don't agree that this is a given.
You must be joking. Bitcoin is threatening them with bilions of dollars loss if not a total dissolution and you don't think it's a given?
No, I don't. I think that there are plenty of people in government capable of seeing the trends, and motivated enough to act towards benefitting from those same trends. This is true if the trend in question is the stock market, Federal Reserve dominance, or the rise of cryptocurrency. Nor do I doubt their capacity to obscure their true motives.
