My fear is that Bitcoin is a CIA project that was meant to make Digital Payments appear palatable to the populace (meaning we bitcoiners are the greater fools) paving the way for the panopticon of CBDCs. I.e. once the populace got hooked onto Bitcoin it would make it much more easier to slide in a CBDC.
I also gave that a little % of probability, but after this 3 last years, I know 99.5% of the people will accept whatever is imposed on them.
So I don't think it's government-based, but if it was, then thank you for the gift! :)

Yeah it's a brilliant thing regardless of whether Satoshi is real or a government agency

Other than people trusting governments I don't understand why anyone would choose a CBDC over BTC? Especially if the US government hyper-inflates USD and offers a CBDC as the savior.

normies do normie things, but IF it is indeed that the govt. itself made Bitcoin, then sliding in CBDCs must have always been the plan. Now CBDCs are at our doorstep and normies wouldn't oppose it. They will even believe that Bitcoin is a scam and a government issued CBDC is to be trusted.

You said it: people trust their governments. They're good and they're here to take care of us.
