It's certainly possible. However, at this point it doesn''t really matter. It's a trustless, permissionless system. It's more decentralized and secure than any other protocol to date. In my mind, if it were a product of the state it was likely supposed to be for their own knowledge and wasn't supposed to be an open-sourced project. 🤷 Who knows though. The auditable nature does lend towards ideas of tracking payments, but that's not my main concern when it comes to Bitcoin. The ability to audit supply, decentralization, censorship resistance and permissionless nature are.
