RE: A Little Something For the Delusional Anarchists of Steemit

Thank you for this highly interesting read!
Is there any evidence or at least hints that you could refer to that support your assertion, that governments have indeed acquired significant amounts of bitcoins already some time ago? If this could be proven - wow, what a scoop that would be.
Breaking news +++ Angela Merkel had ordered Wolfgang Schäuble to acquire bitcoins worth xx million euros already back in 20xx +++
;-)

Sort:  

There is no evidence but even now...what's stopping them from getting in? Why they wouldn't?

Because they would need to inform the public that they are going to spend tax payers money to buy bitcoins. Think of the discourse in public and media this would trigger. How would they explain this to their conservative voters? How would central banks react on such a move? You will probably say that they just did it in secret (even the central banks themselves), but then again, this would be 100% dynamite if this could be reveiled. (I´m having european governments in mind while writing these lines).

That kind of thing wouldn't be shocking, I know China holds foreign cash Bitcoin would be a similar idea.
