Imagine that some respectable country would go far beyond legalizing cryptocurrency and start one of its own. It would surely be no scam and it would probably have a strong support, but would there be any drawbacks to the currency and the state itself? Would it get more attention than some of the biggest coins now?
The question is– have you ever gotten anything useful from your government?If so and if you think that they are reliable then you can go for that coin, but remember that one day power will change hands, the same person on seat today wouldn’t be the same person on seat tomorrow.
And if the person you’re seeing today is a good person, the next might not be the good one. But Blockchain is open and no one controls it. So I don’t think I would go for a coin that is being issued out by the government.
