I am not so sure that no governments would like to sponsor cryptocurrencies. Obviously, not states with dominant currencies for the reasons you mentioned, but I could see other countries jumping into the opportunity of altering the status quo.

This is an interesting take on it. I assumed all governments would want to destroy Bitcoin (once they see its impact), but that really only applies to nations that have a dominant currency to defend, as well as a need for inflationary debt-based currency to support massive deficit spending for war and/or empire building (so, the US, China...maybe nobody else).
