I think there are actually many government officials who have bought and stored their wealth in crypto, although this is not exposed by the media.
Even if bitcoin or crypto becomes accepted by the government those in power still won’t disclose their holding in crypto, so it’s not really because it’s not accepted or anything that makes them buy and keep in secret it’s sometimes because they don’t want people to know incase anything happens to them and their properties are confiscated they can still have something to fall back to. It’s mostly used as a back up plan.
I also agree with your opinion, it is possible that government officials also invest in bitcoin and altcoin but they keep it secret. Whether it is clean money or not. But the suspicion towards that direction is there and makes sense.
If we do speak about those hidden plans or secrets then we do know that government is really that good at that. They would really be that pretending that they are against with Bitcoin or crypto
but just like been said that we dont even know on what they are involving into or plans in the shadows. They would really be wanting on dealing up with things and doesnt really
like on getting behind. Yes, this crypto market space could exist out without centralization but we do know that we would be able to touch up centralized platforms on which these
companies are heavily regulated.
