I have heard about this development and think it is a very interesting move by the government. They don't get into anything without doing a full risk analysis. At first I thought it would be crazy because of the volatility as well but I am starting to think that through their assessment they have come to determine the huge growth potential and how real it is. What if they just plan to load up on Bitcoin and fill their boots on the gains over time. How much Bitcoin could they acquire doing this? Could this make them power players in the Bitcoin market eventually as they keep holding on to the coins? Will be interesting to watch it all develop.
