No. Btc or any other kind of smart money (i like this one, got inspired by @pfunk) is the alternative of the current broken system of banks and any other financial institution. If you believe that btc would receive more attention because of this, you are wrong. Btc has already got media attention. Even Steem was featured in forbes, guardian and other mainstream media. You really don't need govern supporting bitcoin, this would mean the fall of federal reserve and no more control over the economy. there is a bigger picture to blockchain than simply seeing btc as good financial tool.
