Many governments and their banks act like this. They don't give any example to be followed, they don't give any incentive to their citizens, they aren't transparent, but the real danger here is Bitcoin and AltCoins. They are already feeling threatened by Bitcoin and the changes it can promote... That is why they spread these notes.
Specifically because government can't earn from citizens who takes profits from bitcoin because there are no tax laws implemented related to cryptocurrencies. Government either think of a way how can they implement taxation on cryptos OR just ban it.
