Its already "authentic", the gasbags just have to wrap their minds around it and proclaim it so.
So true, but you should not underestimate the transformative power of laws. Since the majority of the population is trained not to think for themselves but instead to abide laws, an official statement of authenticity (even if silly) might get a lot of things moving. In addition there are many cases where public administration enforces acts that deny reality. So an official acknowledgement eliminates the looming danger of being punished for doing freely what is sane and proper...
So even though crypto does not care, it's still a nice move that might facilitate adoption.
ya.ya.yo!
