The sceptical chymist, I know you are either a US citizen or a resident. You should understand the country better. I have so much positive inclination to the article you shared. If I were to be the government of any country, let alone a powerful country like US, I'll use bitcoin to my advantage.

Check this;
Bitcoin remains limited in supply;
If America buys huge and make waves about it, so many countries will buy into the idea and bitcoin will surge so high. They can pay debt with it and repeat same in next circle.
Before the end of next year, wait for bitcoin at $175k+. I am no longer skeptical.
