I'm not worried as long as we get people to understand how blockchains are different than the record keeping systems we are currently using, why this technology is so important.
In my opinion, as long as people understand this we will have some protection against the very real danger of government being the author of bitcoin. As long as there is competition, as long as we are not limited to a single chain or private chains, then I'm not really worried about the origins of the technology or whatever is planned around it.
