Do you still think the government are having a hard time to understand and accumulate Bitcoin for their own agenda. I doubt they are clueless and I think they are on thier path to make a decentralized economy to centralized economy.
I think we do not give enough credit to governments. Government has the ability to hire the right people in different fields and sectors. For sure they have a group of people studying about crypto and ways how they can a) deal with and b) benefit from crypto.
Of course they are not going to lay their cards out in the open. They want us to think that they are clueless but they are almost never clueless and in fact most of the time knows more than they should.
