Yes I can imagine that, and yet also in that world the state will find a way to fund itself, possibly by forcing you to transfer to them some bitcoin. The only thing I'm sure of is that the state isn't going away, and the state will fight dirty when it feels threatened.
Institutions change all the time, so it's not impossible for this outcome. But the state will not just lie down and shrivel up.
