I'm fairly positive.

Power hungry authoritarians are like maddened vipers. They will not only screw things up by hashing out error-prone plans that covers decades, but they will also engage in an endless backstabbing spree among one another.

If they momentarily align under a leader, they will still be plotting regarding the inevitable moment when that figurehead is gone.

Since all other stores of value will inevitably fail against bitcoin, the few intelligent individuals among the current wealthy classes will be compelled to keep a significant amount of their value in bitcoin. This in turn will shift their allegiance from the past corrupt system, toward a bitcoin standard.

As a result, the influential individuals that turn from corruption toward bitcoin will help speed up the failure of the old corrupt system, causing division and confusion among their ranks.

Government contracted programmers around the world have incentives to intentionally introduce flaws and vulnerabilities into their code. The Star Wars analogy of the Death Star is potent: flaws will be introduced when the engineers comprehend the madness of the machinery they are working on.

Government power ultimately rests on public perception and this is true of fiat currencies as well. The governmental war on perception will be lost. Every technical problem have a technical solution and the market is always steps ahead.
