The government is in it for the pump and dump scam (I can’t believe those words fit together now and everyone will know what I mean). I suspect they are indifferent or ignorant about other cryptocurrencies.
I would be worried that when the scammers in charge dump their holdings, the resulting turmoil will affect other currencies as well. Demand-based markets don’t respond well nor rationally to panic.
That said, I also think the whole thing is a ponzi, and my understanding is of course affected by that. But I believe the logic above would apply in either case.
