It's definitely a competition of ideas. But Bitcoin removes government's ability to extract wealth at will from the people living there. And if the people can exit because of poor treatment, the actions of the government has direct consequences. Human action is what changes the world. Ideas are what motivates this action, but ideas without action are worthless.
I think we're saying basically the same thing. But government power is very likely to be reduced/limited by the existence and especially by the mass adoption (human action) of it by the populace.
