Depends on *which* currency you mean. Bitcoin - Yes they can make all the usual services money off it from the stupid. But control is the other huge half of their traditional equation, and they'll have about as much control over p2p wallets and transactions as they have over crypto... so far none, except for fud, threats, contempt. TheirCoin - They'll have a hard time getting all themselves banksters, feds, big business / retail / employers / compute / etc to all sit down at the same table to hash it out... globally. Too many of them will want it for themselves for that to work. Which will make them like all the rest... bunch of failed coins that nobody really uses or cares about. Then there's the huge lead bitcoin and its worldwide ethos has that they'd have to compete with. ie: Most of these are fundamentally the same thing, tweaked param / algo / marketing / private forks of bitcoin that failed or have no real purpose that bitcoin doesn't or won't ever meet... http://coinmarketcap.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies Though some are interesting for what they may solve, are integrated with, or new purpose (again, that bitcoin doesn't cover) ... blockchain privacy - dash, monero, zcash / zclassic outcomes - augur programmable - ethereum storage / etc - maidsafe / etc and so on if you can link to or assemble such a useful list? https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5kq767/if_your_government_thinks_it_is_ok_to_take_your/ http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-27/bitcoin-surges-20-week-chinese-volumes-hit-record-high https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5krljj/it_looks_like_kim_dotcom_is_very_optimistic_on/
