If Bitcoin actually beats the government, which I think is pretty much impossible, thoug, my guess is they'll just stick to being regulators, which is what they should've been doing anyway.

I'm not saying the world is a utopia, but if bitcoin survives its fight with governments, what's next? It's not an easy question to answer. That's why it's fun.

What will governments look like when the world is on a Bitcoin standard?

I can't even imagine a world without a government. They're way too powerful and people to dumb to just let themselves disappear. We can talk about some utopian world, but that's a whole other level, we'd be talking pure fantasy.
