This acceptance is based on a third party who accepts BTC and sends the government money in US dollars "BitPay".
this is the only way, imagine if they charged $1000 in bitcoin when the price of bitcoin is $10,000 and days later the price of bitcoin drops to $4000, at that time they get high losses. this high volatility of bitcoin do not allow bitcoin to be used as a means of payment. In the future when the market is too big I believe they will use bitcoin as a means of payment
is a good step and I hope that in the future they will accept payment in bitcoin without using third party
I hope my state will do the same. Even if the government has to sell it on the market to get the fiat, it is still good for the demand of bitcoin in the process.
