While I do think this is great and all, I don't think it's something which is really going to help the bitcoin community. Like yes, I do understand that having more people in the CRYPTO space is nice -- but it's not like they're going to do anything crypto related, all they're going to do is collect the crypto and then sell it for FIAT.
I just think that while it is good news, it's not as good as some people are going to make it. Plus the government isn't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts, they're doing it cause they know they'll earn more revenue like this.
Sure, it is like opening a new channel for payments and that's it. But nowadays, when Steam and other corporations actually
close Bitcoin related payment channels, it is really good news.
Moreover, existing places where you can actually pay in Bitcoin, they always process Bitcoin payments just by selling the Bitcoins
instantaneously and processing the resulting dollars (or euro or whatever) instead.
