Agree 100%
Blockchain technology is the future and governments understand this and its significant benefits once fully implemented. However like you say this could give them more monetary control...which up to a point is a good thing.
Beyond that is where bitcoin comes in and privacy coins as they are truly decentralized and can't be controlled by geographical governments or powers. Over time as there is a push towards more digital cash and payments more of the general public will become aware of the value of bitcoin.
