My guess is they were mining it long before most people on here had heard of bitcoin.
Good one. A real knee slapper!
No joke. I reckon Bitcoin would of come on their radar early 2010 easily. They monitor the internet, that's what they do.
The real question is "how long did they mine for?"
I've got no idea.

Yes it was "suggested". That was a highlight to an otherwise dry regulatory meeting.
There 'used' to be more truth in forums than anywhere else. Twitter: @cryptobitchicks Spock: "I am expressing multiple attitudes simultaneously. To which are you referring?" INTJ-A

at least the US government won't ban a good way to make profits
even that's just a suggestion from MR. Lee

This is an interesting thread.
If this is true then there is only two possible outcomes:
A) The government takes over the network and crashes it.
B) The government takes over the network and controls it.
^^^^ BOTH VERY POSSIBLE ^^^^

For real, we don't need the government mining bitcoins or any other coin for that matter. Its only going to push us small time miners overboard, drowning in our sorrow because the diff keeps jumping 100%.
True.

this post is shit it aint gonna happen
You have no clue what you are talking about!
Many times over the last few days I have heard that the government mining bitcoins is the only real way to make sure that the network is secure. An attack on the network can be done today for a few hundred million bucks. I know that sounds like a bunch but one unhappy bank or CC company can attack the network without flinching. A few hundred million is nothing to a bank with trillions.
Where are they going to get the hardware from?
A 3rd Gen D-Wave quantum computer would put a far dent in network security. They are only US$35M per unit. NSA or some other mob is sure to have a few dozen laying around.

We could fix QE right now - make a govt backed exchange that allows US to collect BTC in the form of fees - just being wishful. Govt could use their scheme as the legally required version to be able to enforce taxation - handing over further legitimacy to cryptocurrency. Govt could also incentivise through subsidies which will encourage adoption/innovation to adopt btc further.
