Seems you don't understand how it works, do you really think the government will let Bitcoin become mass adopted against their own currency the dollar or their own interest? Do you really think Bitcoin is a threat against the banking system? Please face the reality, the mining is centralized by big companies, it will be so easy to enforce them the OFAC blacklist, the development is pretty controlled by Blockstream (backed by bankers) which is pushing the LN and other things made by them... of course no Bitcoin is not a threat against them, it's not about money, it's about control, why are they (bankers) pumping Bitcoin to the moon and making ETF ? Do you think BlackRock will go against the government? People thinking Bitcoin can protect them from the government are very stupid, with CBDC, it will be so easy to control people's money, linked to social score, it will be like in China, and guess what? Bitcoin was banned in China, miners ran out. It will be so easy to control miners in USA and EU with this system. I don't know if they will go against Bitcoin at some point, but one thing is sure, they will never let Bitcoin out of their control, Bitcoin will probably become an extension of the banking system, heavy integrated and regulated, you and I will just cry. Sure it will take time, many years probably, Bitcoin will eventually go the moon, at the end you will have a "digital gold" worth maybe millions, regulated as hell, you will be unable to send or receive without KYC and heavy taxed because they do what they want just cry if they know your wallet you are fucked... and it will be very difficult to be anonymous maybe impossible because Bitcoin is transparent, yes you can dream of Bitcoin become the world reserve currency and it will probably be, but we will loose everything in parallel.

Heres LITERALLY the scenario in which bitcoin is co-opted like you believe would occur to due banks being involved.

Listen to the criticism of the article and the rebuttal of guy at the end.
