Entirely possible...
Governments have wanted to get rid of paper currency for some time now, create a digital one and let it's users embrace it and watch it become more and more popular.
Remember we had national ID cards as a government proposal in the UK & EU pre 2005 and how much people campaigned against it. Then along came Facebook & Twitter a few years later and the death of privacy as most people where more than happy to share every detail of their lives with the entire world via their Facebook Wall or Tweets.
Now all intelligence agencies have teams dedicated to spying on people of interest through social media.
