Not really. The US government has been quite supportive of bitcoin. They even auctioned a block of bitcoin to the public.

- drivingmenuts 12y agoI wouldn't call that support, so much as auctioning it off because they're required to, need to convert it to real currency, or just don't know what the hell else to do with it. Nothing was ever mentioned about supporting it in any way, shape or form.
- qq66 12y agoI think treating it as something of value is a meaningful type of support. If they seized something like a broken DVD player they'd probably just dispose of it, and if they seized illicit drugs they'd destroy them. Auctioning them says that it's a legal store of value.
