Can you smell it in the air?
Most definitely! Many banks have also showed an interest beside fear. Société Générale and BNP Paribas hiring blockchain experts and announcing potential services on the top of the blockchain can't be but bullish.
I doubt all banks and all governments will take the same stance with Bitcoin. Some will take harder stance, some will be more open, some will surely try and destroy it and some will try to profit from it.
Governments would definitely think of their benefits and they would surely want to earn profit out of it, Even if they make it legal they would impose tax on it, so there would no benefit for an individual, as we know that Government will support only banks and not the bitcoins.
