Evidently not.
I heard this morning on Bloomberg radio that the Senate discussed criminalizing bitcoin with it's redefinition of the term "Financial Institution"
The Federal Reserve is preparing to launch it's own "Cryptocurrency" in 2018.

Another point of interest was that they will be using a similar blockchain so that every transaction with every bill in circulation will be logged and tracked. The idea of decentralization will be gone though.
They will be using blockchain to actually CENTRALIZE the currency controls more than ever.
