Thinking that the Government is okay with Bitcoin is not very wise. The only reason that Bitcoin is a high risk investment, in my opinion, is the huge risk of getting black swaned by authorities at one point or another. As Bitcoin grows more and more popular it will attract more and more attention from lobbyists. Lobbyists pay politicians in exchange for laws in favour of their position being passed.
Dreams of $1,000/BTC coming to fruition are totally in vain if Bitcoin can't establish itself in the cultural mainstream. Those who control society will simply suffocate the exchange of fiat for BTC if that condition can't be met, and Bitcoin will never, ever become a standalone currency without going through a period wherein its value is established in relation to fiat for the simple reason that you can't live on BTC itself right now or any point in the short/medium future.
